and mine of course rich, i HAVE to copy ding and karl you see ...or maybe cos the filter wont fit on with 2 sandwich plates cos of the engine hanger (all of which are different on yours mind)

1 you remove the bolt that goes through it and into the block thread and it falls off the block....was that a trick question pal, dont get it I fitted mine in situ so that tells you the difficulty level lol fitting the hoses to the new sandwich plate with the inlet manifold on now thats another story

2 take the one from the heater matrix and route it direct to the back of the head. i did this by hacking up the nice new samco set you sent me ....i used the angles i needed and inserted copper pipe (plumbing stuff) in the hoses and clamped em tight with hi-grip juby clips.

3 no but as i have no oil temp gauge i aint likely to know lol

i fitted my cooler because of the pressure issue i had with the pump i.e. it was resprung for use with a cooler so went stupid high without one

HTH
