Don't need tape on AN fittings to hoses. Did they use new O-ring on original oil cooler to crankcase? If it was disturbed, (which it would be because of sandwich plate install) it will leak.

You can use tape on the taper fittings going into cooler and sandwich plate, but leave first two-three threads clean!!
