When installing the sandwich plate did you use tape on the threads of extender to the stock oil filter hold threads, does that make sense

no, do not use tape there. tighten it down with a wrench and you will be fine

Just thought i'd chime in since i don't see burb ports on any of these coolers. Did the people who have installed these take the time to run the motor with the coolers in an fashion where the ports were right side up? If not, you've probally trapped some air in the top of the core, and are thus screwwing yourself out of some added efficiency.

I understand what you are thinking. But I actually took the idea of mounting it this way after looking at some of my motorcycles. Ie... Triumph speed triple. They were all mounted what seems like upside down. I figured if it was good enough for such a small volume engine, it probably wouldn't be to bad in this application. You could be right, but the cooler seems to work extremely well.

Just curious if you think it would help to run the car first with the cooler port side up until oil has a chance to fill the cooler, then once that happens and the air is most certainly out, to then orient the cooler the way you want and secure it...to the bumper.
What device are you thinking to use to "burp" the system and purge the air out?
