I used to have the specs awhile back about using a stock volvo sandwich plate with an extended oil filter tube (whatever it threads on to) but i cant remember for the life of me what car it came on. Im thinking 840's? Anyone know?

The plate can be found on the 84-86 740/760 turbos mounted right on the block with the filter on top of it. The later 87-91 740/940 turbos had it on a extension bracket that locates the oil filter in a easier to reach position near the downpipe. 92-95 940 turbos used a water cooling sandwich plate which I don't think you want. I'm curious as to what temp the thermostat is set to open it. I guess I could always put a temp gauge in my 745 wagon and find out.

The turbo engines have an oil filter mount that has fittings for an oil cooler. I have one laying around that I want to fit to my 7a engine. However, the turbo oil filer mount screws to the block using a large hollow bolt, but of course the 7a engine has a threaded piece sticking out where you normally screw the oil filter onto. How to remove that threaded piece, is it mounted with loctite or something because I cannot simply screw it out??
