A awasher should be between the engine and this plate.
On the other sside of the plate you will put the filter which has a washer in it.
As Jimmy says there should be a big rubber O'ring / washer that goes against the sandwich plate to the block it will be the same size as the oil filter one, and you will also need 1 for when you place the oil filter against the sandwich plate which as already said by Jimmy is on the oil filter alreadyOriginally Posted by Jimmy_GTT
Thanks, so them gaskets should be in my bottom end gasket set?
If not I keep them in stock.
Think ive found it, but the bolt that clamps it to the block just rattles around in the hole. Does this matter? seems fine when tightend up.
Right back again, been looking at my oil sandwich plate and i didnt mention that im changing the standard one to a mocal one. My problem is that the bit that goes throught the sandwich plate and bolts to the block just rattles in the hole, so do i need a different one from mocal to fill the hole? also a bigger rubber seal for it? hope that all makes sence. thanks.
Anyone? what i mean is in my pics u can see the bolt that goes through the hole just rattles around compared to the standard one which is a snug fit.
that bolt looks lost in that hole
Yes it should be snug. Think it's a m18x1.5 mocal jobbie from memory
hi right i had this problem with my oil cooler and i phoned mocal up and expalned it to them yes they do the parts for this and it wont cheap about £6 each part but cos i had one part i just needed the other if stick then give me a ring mate 07865199163 chris
M20 x 1.5 is what you need that plate adaptor bolt you have is way to small.
cheers for that.
do u know if they do the gasket for the plate? or what size so i can search for it.
thanks.
can you put a pic up of your oil cooler houseing as i may have one as there are two diffant types
type 1 is the same as the oil filter o ring
or type 2
is wider
thanks chris d
thats a joke the price of that cheaper to go to mocal and get it for £6.50 inc postage!

Hello again, right ive got my adaptor now as in the pic james has shown me but how do i fit my oil filter on? there nothing to screw it to.
Did you also get the threaded adaptor for the block as the new one you would have got fits so that the outer smooth part goes through mocal sandwich plate first with the threaded bit sticking out so that the oil filter can screw onto it.

Errr no, where would i look for the other part?
Is it just a threaded tube James ?

PS I just had the exact same problem.
Yeah it's a threaded piece, I will see if I can find some details as it might help others aswell.Is it just a threaded tube James ?
