Hello,
Anyone have any luck with the oil cooler sandwich adapter that holds the mounting bolt to the adapter intermediate flange, it is only able to tighten 1 to 2 turns ?

There are several suppliesre but they should engage with at least three or four full turns. Do not over toghten the big nut as it does not take that much pressure to seal. Make sure the o ring on the filter seals on the adapter. Some adapters have a cut out for the thermostat that makes leaks depending on the filter.
