Sources for a seal / gasket for 1995 oil cooler

[DRRummel]

I have 1995 Cobra with an engine coolant based oil cooler. The cooler takes engine antifreeze down to an adapter that is in between the oil filter and the block. The rubber seal between the block and the cooler looked pretty shot so I stopped at the dealer to get a replacement. The seal had been discontinued. The cooler “can’t be cored” either.

So if / when this things starts to leak…
Any idea who might make an aftermarket replacement?
The Ford Number for the seal is – F4ZZ-6L621-AA.

Just delete it. It was a prototype that never really took flight. Just get you a tube and bypass that ugly metal hose and trash it.

Just get rid of that thing. After you take it off, you can put a normal GT FL-1A oil filter which is bigger than the Cobra one.

You should. If your cobra is like mine that pipe is all rusted and nasty and doesnt hold high temp paint at all anyway... :shrug:
