Hello all,

Second post here and I just had my first big screw up. @#$%! I have a 97 2wd and while putting new oil cooler lines on I stripped the threads in the housing that the lines connect to (above the oil filter, what is that called?). @#$%! So.... anyone know where I can get one of these (used or new). I'm assuming that the dealer is the only place to get one new, any ideas on $$$$. By the way is there a classifieds section here for parts? I can't seem to find it.

Oh yeah, whats the torque spec for that bolt so I don't do it again when I get the part?

Thanks,
Stupid

Its called a Oil Filter Adaptor. See diagram below for details.

Thank you sir!
Is that really current price? I was expecting the damage to be much worse.

Any idea what the torque on the bolts mounting it to the block and the bolt mounting the lines to it is?

These prices are about 2 years old and they are Dealer prices.
