What is your opinion on fans for oil coolers? are they easy to install? Do they keep engines a lot cooler?

When adjusting the e brake u just tighten the 2 little screws under the boot right? Everytime I do this the screws just spring back to where they were. Am I missing something?

You need to have the case taped for a full flow oil filter. Then you add the second oil cooled in series with the oil filter. If you get one, make sure it has a 180 degree thermostat. You don't want to oil too cool.

For the e-brake... you don't turn the screws. The end of each cable is threaded with 2 nuts. The slow is for a screwdriver to prevent the cable from twisting when you tighten the nut. The second nut is a lock nut so it doesn't loosen up.

Make sense?

When I did mine, they went in like a greased whore. No problems. If you can't get it more than 2 inches, maybe there's some crap up there. May try to snake it (plumber's snake, old wire hanger). Try feeding it through backwards, just to see if you can figure whats blocking it. Good luck!
