hey mate question with that oil cooler set up, i'm stuck knowing where to put the braided lines from the sandwich plate on the block, you know how there are 2 fittings on it, one must be a return & the other bumps oil to the oil filter/relocater? then there are 2 fittings on the oil filter/relocater. 1 feeds oil from the sandwich plate & the other feeds oil to the oil cooler...

hope you understands & can help cause i dont wanna get it wrong & f**k my engine due to lack of oil lol

also here's a diagram i found where is says "spin on adapter is that the correct way the hoses have to go on the rb30?

or does the oil feed from the oil filter thread on the block?

second pic is of my sandwich plate...

yeah that diagram is right, make sure that the oil OUT from the spin on adaptor does to the OUTSIDE of the filter on the oil filter relo. then everything else is straight forward

oh ok so on the rb30, the oil doesn't feed from the little screw in oil filter thread. feeds from the outside part on the oil filter block,,, correct??

i've attached a pic of the rb30 block oil filter partto make sure we are on the same track....

cheers

Every engine works like that. Look at the oil filter and see how it works.

[Simon-S14]

yeah the oil goes thro the filter thro the outside first and then flows into the engine thro the centre...
