well i just installed my hooker long tubes and now i cant put my oil cooler on no room to run the lines to the front what does everybody do about this?

 

I have FLP's and I had to remove the oil cooler... Not a big deal for me to do this...

 

You can buy some Heater hose and re-route the oil cooler. You can just buy some hose and bypass the oil cooler so it doesnt even run through the cooler.

 

in order to bypass it what has to been done? what do you do with the holes in the oil filter thing

 

Just take the thing off...its pretty worthless anyway. Disconnect the line to the radiator and WP and replace those with a bypass hose from WP to radiator.

There is one bolt between the metal lines that bolts the line assembly to the filter adapter/cooler.....remove that and pull the line assembly free. Now take the oil filter off and then turn the big nut that is part the threaded tube that the oil filter screws onto......once you loosen that the cooler/ adapter will come off. All that will leave is two studs holding the standard oil filter adapter on......you will need 2 standard adapter bolts to replace those studs then you are good to go.

 

I also deleted my stock oil cooler. I just clamped a rubber cap over the lower radiator bung and the bung on the waterpump, no need to connect the 2.

 

i just rebuilt my motor and when i pulled the cooler of i dont remember any studs? also when you take th cooler off the oil filter screws in with out it wont the bolt where the filter screws on be to long? any pics of this?

 

The cooler is screwed onto a standard oil filter adapter.....once it is removed you will see it. The bolts that hold the standard adapter have unthreaded studs that line up the cooler correcty.....those have to be replaced with regular bolts.....then your filter will screw on as normal. Sorry I dont have a pic.

 

Greg, what size are those bolts?
