anyone fitted an oil cooler to serpentine v8?

[abooth2k]

I'm looking for a pair of blanking plugs for a serpentine V8 engine if anyone has a pair kicking about after having fitted a cooler?

Thanks in advance

M20 x 1.5 pitch bungs should be available from your local pneumatic / hydraulic hose place

A nptf adapter is also handy in case you want to plumb a sensor(s) later, as there is only provision for oil pressure switch on the serp timing covers.

They are a special bung.
When I was trying to get hold of them two specialists insisted that they must have an O ring holder at the end, or you can get leaks.
I ended up have the plastic ones (that the factory put in to protect the holes) copied in SS. Worked out cheaper as the local machine shop did them for free.

JE have them but were reluctant to sell them individually.


I T'd off the oil pressure switch to provide and outlet for the pressure sender, better than it being stuck underneath the engine.
