I know this has been brought up, talked about, solved, a million and 3 times on this forum.
However, I can't seem to find the thread I found awhile back, which held all the answers I believe. So my apologies for making a new thread on this.
The car, 03 cobra obviously.
My original oil cooler began to seep coolant from behind the filter, out of the core I assume. At 100k miles.
I ordered the kit from speed concepts, did everything to the T, filled her back up with coolant, and out it came from the same place it was leaking from originally.
Not literally ALL the coolant at once, but it was leaking worse than before. Maybe I pinched a o ring, maybe the cooler itself has a hairline crack,I don't know, and I don't care..I want this son of a bitch oil boiler gone.
I've already ordered and received an MMR oil filter relocation with bolt on adapter. But now, I'm not so sure I wanna go that route..I don't want the oil filter behind the bumper, harder messier to change etc.
So I was looking around a while back, and I remember people saying you could use a 96-98 Cobra oil filter adapter, or a Mark VIII adapter. My question is, will this work? My alternator is in the stock location, still a blower car, basically stock with a whipple on top.
I'm only considering this now, because like I said I don't really wanna drill and mount a filter head somewhere, as the car is really clean, even though it is " high miles" just hit 100K on a 15 yr old car, I wouldn't consider it high mileage, but that's not the question here lol.
Anyway, what are the for sure options that work for 03/04 cobra with alternator in stock location before I go ****in around with this MMR kit?
Thank you.
