Clean the block mounting surface area and then install the supplied gasket and oil cooler adapter block. Install the oil cooler adapter bolts and tighten the bolts to 106 in-lbs (12 Nm).
Use thread sealing compound on the sensor or sensor plug threads along with the adapter block bolt threads. If you are using this adapter on a vehicle that does not have an oil temperature sensor or has the sensor mounted elsewhere, then you should plug the oil temperature sensor port with the supplied M12 plug and crush washer. If you are not using this adapter to supply oil to a turbocharger, supercharger or other application then you should plug the 1/8” NPT port with the supplied fitting.
The oil temperature sensor port plug can be used to add an oil temperature sensor to vehicles that don’t already have an oil temperature sensor and gauge. The temperature reading at this location will be the engine out (pre-oil cooler) temperature.
This oil cooler adapter is designed to be used with an external oil cooler. If you are not using an external oil cooler LPE offers an adapter block kit with oil supply and sensor fittings that does not have the external oil cooler lines (LPE part # L300015297).
