So I dont have a problem finding a oil cooler (sandwich style, like the one on the CSVT's), but the hoses I hear are a problem on the 3L because of an "ear" on the block.... so those hoses must be metal lines (otherwise couldn't they be re-routed?)?
Anyway, what I'm wondering is if I could just pick up some generic 3/4" coolant hose or something and make this thing work on my 96 w/ 3L, tapping into the cooling system in the same place the CSVT's oil cooler does. Has anyone who's had a look up in there know if rubber coolant hoses could be routed around in there or is it really necessary to get the actual factory hoses?
I found the factory 3L hoses for the escape... $90
