I was looking online at a site that showed a bunch of 914/6 GT stuff. The link....

And the racing oil filter that replaced the engine mounted oil cooler got me to thinking.. (Oh shit, we are in trouble.. Clay is thinking again).

Why do we go to all the trouble to modify the metal tube coming out of the bottom of the oil cooler. Why not just remove it and thread the hole? Then put in either an AN or Metric fitting for the oil line. It's much easier to tap a hole than it is to TIG weld on an AN fitting.

If your talking about removing the whole tube, and taping a whole right where the cooler would mount to the engine case i'm thinking that there is not enough cooler material there... the thread cound would be very small, ie it's not very deep there, and then you have the oil cooler seal in there to boot...

I'm guessing though... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
