Thanks. I am trying really hard to laugh instead of crying.

I could get it done if the engine was here, but shipping back and forth is expensive and across the border has to be insane.

I guess I don't understand how you are going to seal up the block after you remove the place for the filter.

Depending upon the size of the ports I would drill into them to give myself a nice round opening then I would break out the NPT tap and tap it, then install 2 AN fittings

I saw the thread when you first posted but I held out on any comment to see if you would let us know the route you would take.

See this man has faith that it can be done. I'm sure JBP can do it to.

I wouldn't trust JBP to do it, but I work in a machine shop, anything is possible

Sorry to hear this Rod. That is complete crap. I would start w/ the shipping company. If that doesnt work then go to the supplier and between the 2 of them do not take no for an answer.

I am not a machinist so this doesn't just look really easy. Then something needs to be rigged for the oil cooler and a way to mount it in the engine bay.
All of that seems like "custom" work and I have learnt what that means, timeXmoney=PITA.
The bottom line, I am not paying a bloody cent for this repair. This is someone else's problem and I am not going through the hassle, other than some ranting come Monday/Tuesday.

I will not be taking "no" that's for sure.

The bottom line is that the buck does stop with JBP. They did the shipping and they have to deal with shipping company. When I arrive on Tuesday I will demand a immediate fix or I stop the rwd project, dead.

That does look like it solves the problem but I am interested in seeing the completed motor/solution as well. Where was that?

The wife doesn't go there with me. She said maybe when the car is finally done.
