I would keep it!

Removing it on a M20 is easy, it should unscrew out of the block! You might need to put a non Cooler plate in its place.

You mean the take-off plate on the side of the engine is pissing oil ?

If so you need the following;

GASKET SET 11429059338 Ԛ£6 ish
O-RING 11421265670 Ԛ£2 ish
O-RING 11421714764 Ԛ£3 ish

You'll also need one of the following but without stripping and measuring the existing parts I couldn't say which one so just order both;

GASKET RING 07119963384 Ԛ£0.15 ish
GASKET RING 07119963441 Ԛ£0.40 ish

Cheers,

Guys question?

Without the oil cooler, will it harm the engine?

The cooler helps to maintain the oil at what temperature?

Do you need to use more oil when using a cooler?

Last question, this oil that is been cooled, is it engine oil or trans oil :mad:
