Subject:      More oil cooler
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

OK, time to move the oil cooler.  You'll remember that I removed my stock
oil cooler and added an external cooler under the van.  I think pretty much
as a group we decided it wasn't a good idea and that I should have left the
stock cooler and tapped the oil filter takeoff for the oil supply.  The last
straw on my original installation is that the oil lines come up beside the
distributor and make it virtually impossible to change the timing.  Got two
questions.  I need to buy a fitting that replaces the oil filter.  Does the
new fitting replace just the oil filter or the oil filter AND the fitting it
mounts to?  My other question involves plugging the bypass hole that Stan
mentioned.  I need more specific instructions on that.  The bypass hole
isn't in any of the pictures in my Bentley.  Where is it and what do I plug
it with?


Thanks for any help,
