Default oil cooler question

Hey All - I installed the Z1 Oil Cooler kit today, the Stillen 19. I had a question on the likelihood of an oil leak or issue from where the sandwich adapter connects to the engine. I saw that it is secured by just the sleeve that is threaded onto the filter connector. It seems rather dainty, for lack of a better word. Its my first time working with oil coolers and was curious if leaking or failure of this sandwich adapter was something anyone has experienced. Tomorrow it will get its road test. Thanks in advance.

I've never installed/used a bypass plate but have known many people that did. I'd estimate that 99.9% of the problems encountered with after-market oil coolers are due to poor installation. Ie, if you put it in right, you shouldn't have any problems.
