Well the oil cooler and filter relocation kit came on Thursday. You would expect this to be good news, however it has come with M20mm fittings instead of 3/4 UNF 16 used by Toyota. This kit was allegedly pulled, complete, off a TT engine. It was purchased from a forum member, who purchased it off another forum member. I don't know who screwed who first, but the end result is I paid $200 for something that will not work, so now I'm screwed.
The local hydraulic shop is going to machine me up a custom adaptor to get the kit to fit on the side of the engine. As for the filter end...I guess I'm looking for a filter that fits M20 thread, and can handle the 100+ psi oil pressure.
