Problems installing E force on 2007 Z06
As title states , Does anyone know ?
1 How do you install the oil cooler ?
Seems like there is no way in the world to tighten the bolt at rear !
2 Do you have to remove driver side cat ? If so how do you get at front bolt ?
3 How tight does the plug that goes in the frost plug have to be ?
Thanks In Advance

For those reading this, the Z06 kit is supplied with an oil cooler similar to that used on the new Camaro -
1 - Remove the manifold and cat
2 - install cooler
3 - Re-install Manifold & Cat
The "frost plug" you are referring to - is that the metric threaded plug with copper washer? If so, the torque is not high (under 25 ft lbs)
Hope this helps and merry christmas

95. Install the supplied threaded fitting into the hole
previously occupied by the freeze plug.The other 2 bolts hold the cooler to the motor
101. Secure the oil cooler by tightening the bolts that
come with it into the flange on the oil pan, then install the
supplied bolt through the oil cooler assembly and thread it
into the bracket mounted to the oil pan rail.come with it into the flange on the oil pan, then install the
supplied bolt through the oil cooler assembly and thread it
No torque listed.

It's the plug. No 2 in picture . I have a Canadian Z06 , It came with a block heater , in that hole , instead of a frost plug .
I don't want to over tighten it , nor do I want it to leak either
