lol the cops are going to love that oil cooler,

mm i bet they will. as long as i can get to nats and back i'll be happy. it's only 30 mins from my place. fingers crosseed.

Hmmmm, if you manage to get it hooked up be very careful of your oil levels.

You're going to need to get it up to temp before it'll fill. That's a pretty big cooler there, once it's up to temp it's gonna take a lot of oil to fill it.

Try and get as much oil into it as you can before you start the car.

Bring the car up to temp. As soon as you feel heat in the hose from the filter adaptor shut it down and check the dipstick.

You don't want to run the sump dry filling the cooler and you definately don't want the oil pump trying to pump air.

Do all this at idle I wouldn't rev that until I was very very sure all the lines are full.

i was thinking i would try and fill the core with oil as much as i could first too.

i picked up the sandwich plate today. looks like i may run into trouble as its quite big an might make the filter hit the radiator. i was looking at it yesterday and there's not a hell of a lot of room in there.

The filter just misses, I've got one on mine.

Misses by just enough to let you do a filter change.

sweet. i'll chuck it on first thing when i get home.

how many litres does a 1.6 normally take?
