00:00:00.140 well I'm ready to do it my oral cooler 00:00:03.05000:00:03.060 so the first thing I did was remove this 00:00:05.86900:00:05.879 hose connection from the side of the 00:00:07.78900:00:07.799 block it did not come out without a 00:00:11.39000:00:11.400 fight 00:00:12.02000:00:12.030 was practically seized in there luckily 00:00:15.07900:00:15.089 it's made out of soft metal so it's what 00:00:17.99000:00:18.000 got destroyed instead of the block I 00:00:20.80000:00:20.810 then ordered and installed the genuine 00:00:25.12000:00:25.130 seal plug and a seal ring this is for 00:00:29.59900:00:29.609 cars that either don't have the oil 00:00:31.37000:00:31.380 cooler or have the oil to air cooler 00:00:34.97000:00:34.980 which was popular in Europe I did apply 00:00:41.72000:00:41.730 some anti-seize on these threads just in 00:00:45.02000:00:45.030 case I ever want to take it off 00:00:47.18000:00:47.190 I had this letter M 104 pump that had 00:00:52.22000:00:52.230 the ceiling cover for engines that don't 00:00:56.27000:00:56.280 have the oil core so I've salvaged that 00:01:00.31900:01:00.329 and installed that cover on my 104 980 00:01:04.88000:01:04.890 water pump so now that the coolant lines 00:01:10.85000:01:10.860 are blocked off let's see if the 00:01:13.70000:01:13.710 replacement oil filter housing for non 00:01:17.49900:01:17.509 oil called engines actually fits this is 00:01:21.53000:01:21.540 from the later 104 it's not specifically 00:01:24.85900:01:24.869 from this version engine the way you can 00:01:30.44000:01:30.450 tell other than the part number is the 00:01:33.59000:01:33.600 mounting tabs up the top particularly 00:01:38.35900:01:38.369 one that faces the front of the engine 00:01:41.56900:01:41.579 is for the AGR pipe to mount on those 00:01:45.17000:01:45.180 countries unfortunate enough to require 00:01:47.30000:01:47.310 it on the later plastic manifold 104 and 00:01:53.67900:01:53.689 it's a perfect fit all of the holes line 00:01:56.92900:01:56.939 up I'm not really surprised it is a 104 00:02:00.38000:02:00.390 after all 00:02:22.05000:02:22.060 and that's the tab that I was talking 00:02:25.77000:02:25.780 about and just to be sure I have two of 00:02:30.18000:02:30.190 those oil filter housings just in case 00:02:32.04000:02:32.050 my other one too for ever needs one I've 00:02:34.53000:02:34.540 got one spare so this is a comparison 00:02:41.76000:02:41.770 with the enormous original oil filter 00:02:45.84000:02:45.850 housing that has the incorporated water 00:02:48.18000:02:48.190 and oil heat exchanger now one thing I 00:02:52.68000:02:52.690 didn't realize at the time of ordering 00:02:54.54000:02:54.550 this is I'm going to get new bolts as 00:02:56.55000:02:56.560 well because the bolts for the oil 00:02:59.46000:02:59.470 cooler version are obviously longer now 00:03:02.91000:03:02.920 just a quick comparison with this new 00:03:05.49000:03:05.500 one versus the old style as mounted on 00:03:09.33000:03:09.340 the car it looks like that tab should 00:03:12.18000:03:12.190 clear the intake manifold not a hundred 00:03:14.82000:03:14.830 percent sure till the time comes when 00:03:16.89000:03:16.900 it's assembled but if not it looks easy 00:03:19.77000:03:19.780 enough to cut off anyway and that's what 00:03:21.69000:03:21.700 I'll do it if required just bearing in 00:03:28.25900:03:28.269 mind to this modification isn't for 00:03:30.15000:03:30.160 everyone in Australia we live in a nanny 00:03:33.27000:03:33.280 state we have low speed limits and I 00:03:36.69000:03:36.700 will not be driving this car like a race 00:03:38.46000:03:38.470 car and if anyone was wondering yes it 00:03:43.08000:03:43.090 does come with an oil filter
