Title: engine oil cooler Post by: penski61 on October 13, 2010, 08:23:38 AM for those thinking about adding an engine oil cooler , heads up for ya if you use this kit
flex-a-lite part # FLX-3951 you need to grind the alternator bracket back quite a bit and you cant use the oem filter because the filter is not big enough in diameter to cover the sandwich adapter i went with the fram 3950 because it was the correct thread pitch and the O-ring was the correct size to cover the sandwich adapter (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/PA137221.jpg) and the clearance (its not much lol)the new filter has after grinding the alternator bracket (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/PA137222.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/PA137227.jpg) size comparison (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/PA137235.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/PA137236.jpg) and the cooler (which is kind a hard to see) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/PA137237.jpg) |
