Oil cooler thermostat gasket kit. Porsche 924S / 944 / 968

Oil cooler thermostat gasket kit.
The oil cooler gasket kit is engineered to reseal the engine oil cooler housing and thermostat/oil-filter adapter on Porsche 924S, 944 (1982-1991) and 968 (1992-1995) models (and compatible variants). This kit includes all necessary gaskets, O-rings, and seals required to rebuild or reseal the oil-to-water cooler assembly and related thermostat/oil-filter housing interface, restoring proper sealing integrity and preventing oil or coolant leaks. 

Fits:
Porsche 924S 1986 - 1988
Porsche 944 1982 - 1991
Porsche 968 1992 - 1995

The oil cooler (or heat-exchanger) is vital to maintain correct oil temperature, especially under load or high revs. The gaskets and seals that form part of this assembly are wear items - over time they can harden, shrink or degrade, leading to leaks.

If a seal fails, you may experience:
• Engine oil leaks under the vehicle or at the cooler housing.
• Oil contamination of coolant (or coolant contamination of oil) - often mistaken for a blown head gasket.
• Loss of oil pressure or reduction in cooling efficiency, potentially leading to overheating or accelerated engine wear.
• Unpleasant oil smell in engine bay, smoke if oil drips onto hot exhaust, and increased fire risk in severe cases.

Using this gasket kit ensures that the cooler housing is sealed properly, restores reliability and safeguards the engine’s lubrication and cooling integrity - a relatively low-cost preventative maintenance step with high payoff for longevity and safety.
