Sandwich plate between the block and the oil filter, MOCAL do a nice one, get one with a thermostat built in for good measure well worth the extra Ł15 or so over one without, then run pipes from sandwich plate to oil cooler and back.

There is already the Modine (sp) oil/water cooler between the filter and block.
Would it be best before that (next to the block) or after next to the filter ? I guess it wouldn't matter ????

You dispose of/sell the original laminova cooler, and use just the sandwich plate, as it is a far far more effective cooler.

u can buy a kit to remote the oil filter and keep the original set up as well then u dont have to fuck about with the water pipes! and get it thermostate controled so u dont over cool your oil! mocal do the hole lot for about 140
