Plus I was being lazy about removing it and opening up the coolant lines. I use K&N filters and the clearance is a little tight; I'm not sure how much luck you'd have with longer filters, but I'm sure someone else will chime in.

I have been looking at the clearance for the oil filters with the sandwich and stock oil cooler ...you said you used the k&n filter and it was a tight fit ...do you know the part number of the one you use ...and how tight was the fit ....trying to decide if I should look into a filter relocation kit ...rather not tho
