Hello everyone!! Well my oil cooler lines sprung a leak on me, two pin sized holes and have been leaking quiet slowly on me up until today. They finally decided to split and leave a nice puddle of oil on my garage floor.
I read on this site that if I no longer have the auto turbo on my 81 zxt then the oil cooler is not required. So I removed the cooler, the in and out lines and the oil filter adapter only to discover that once the adapter is removed from the block I can't install an oil filter without it. I've seen n/a blocks and how the oil filter just screw's on flush to the block and that's what I would like for my filter to do also. Is there a special adapter on a n/a block that i need to accomplish this? Or is there another way? Oh just in case, I did search for oil cooler removal, oil cooler system removal, oil cooler filter adapter mod....... I mostly found threads on oil cooler instlation.
