    Parts/special tools required

    * AE82/AE92, 4AGE/4AFE oil cooler
    * " ", sandwich plate bolted on the block
    * AE82/AE92 4AGE/4AFE sump with oil return
    * approx 3m of oil cooler hose 3/8 size
    * 4 good quality hose clamps to suit
    * if the old one is shagged, a new sandwich plate o-ring (toyota genuine about $7 RRP) not much to cross reference with, so i just used a genuine one..
    * 1 1/16 socket
    * carby cleaner or similar (thinners/brake cleaner/white spirits)
    * pack of various copper washers
    so basically raid the same car at the wreckers



    first step is to take your old filter off..

    then use the 1 1/16 socket to undo the thread fitting in the center..

    clean up the oil that is there with a rag.. clean the surface of the block with some carby cleaner etc.. spray it on the rag and wipe it, not inside the engine.. (silly i know, but i saw someone do it!) ..

    clean surface of plate.. put new oring in.. use the longer thread fitting and washer you got off the other motor, and fit.. use locator pin on some 4AGE blocks.. if not just some washers and a bolt will do..

    tighten up nice and firm not overkill..

    best to put the hose onto the fittings befor putting them on the engine..

    clean the end of the hose your putting on, and the fitting with carby cleaner.. i used a bit of cheap acrylic spray paint i had lying around as a lube.. (don't use oil or it may weap) the paint then dries and makes a nice seal

    both fittings like this on the engine.. then fit to the engine.. with the new copper washers either side of the banjo exactly like you took them off..

    the oil cooler i'm using is off an AE82 twinky.. i bent the bracket it had across the bottom from being level with the front, to 90deg angle.. the 2 bolt holes in the bracket lines up perfectly with the 2 taced nuts in the radiator support panel.. so it just bolted in place and stays put nicley

    run the hose to correct lengthand fit to oil cooler in the same fashin as before..

    hose clamp it up... use some thinners on a clean rag to go over the hose (if you used something like speedflow hose, or aeroquip etc..)

    run car and check for leaks..

    Good info,
    I was going to do the same to my car, but i cant fit a sanwdidge plate as i cant get the filter on without taking off the extractors, not to mention being way to close. So i have to run a remote filter and the only place where there is any room is the other side of the engine bay next to the fuel filter
    Im not to keen on running that much extra oil line but i might not have any choice,
    ill see how it goes.

    Ben.

    what is the valve on the 4age sandwich plates for? is it a pressure release valve, like the one that is normally inside the filter?

    doesn't fitting this plate on, and then bypassing the return oil gallery to the engine bypass the bottom end bearings? or does it still allow some oil through?

    whats wrong with running extra line
    increases your oil capacity and the pressure drop would be negligible

    the valve u speak of is the thermostat
    bypasses the oilcooler when the oil is cold
    oil still goes through the oil filter as per usual

    any benefits having the oil return line to the sump instead of going back from the cooler to the sandwich plate ?

    The standard sandwich plate doesn't allow you to run the oil back into the plate. It's a low pressure cooler system so bypassing to the sump is a must.
