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

and the clearance (its not much lol)the new filter has after grinding the alternator bracket
