Default Re: OIL FILTER SANDWICH

I tried the two ports in the head. I think they are drain galley plugs as they don't carry any oil pressure. The sandwich is out of the question. I ended up taking the filter and oil cool off the mount. There is a 12MM Allan socket deep in the center oil filter mounting threaded bolt. You need a long 12mm Allen wrench. You don't have to remove the oil lines from the cooler. I then removed the mounting bracket from the block. I drilled and taped the mount with a 1/8 27 NPT tap. Drill in a place that wont weaken the bracket. I had to use a 90 degree elbow to allow the sending unit to clear. There is an 'O' ring between the oil cooler and mount. Chrysler does not show the part. It is exactly the size of an oil filter gasket. Hold it place with a dab of rubber cement to keep in place while mounting. A new mount to block gasket was $6.00. Sorry no pictures. It works beautiful.
