Hi all,

I crossed the issue of failing oil cooler a few years ago and replaced hoses and oil cooler with an alternate solution.

There are two adapters on the crank case that need replacing along with hoses and cooler. Parts required...

2 x adapters 18m-8MJ with o ring seal from Gates - these are steel M18x1.5 to 8AN adapter. I would recommend steel over aluminium. I got mine here:

EMPI oil cooler (like this:

Hoses, 8AN connectors, length to suit with steel connectors. Got mine from eBay. Something like this:

Total cost was about $200.00

Good luck,
