Is this kit compatible with the type 4 filter? Seems like pretty easy add on?

I would prefer a coupling that didn't use the external filter until 180f but can't find a complete kit.

I found that the straight-out fittings on the sandwich plate do not fit very well in the 914's location. I wound up needing a couple of 90-degree fittings to clear the other stuff that's in the area. I also removed at least some of the heater parts from the right-side heat exchanger to make room.

Used a sandwich adapter and plumbed to a oil thermostat then back to the aux oil cooler.


running through the upper engine compartment keeps the valve covers clear for adjustments.
