So I looked up the torque guide just out of curiosity and at the top it of the sheet it said this. See last paragraph.


“The maximum tightening torques are:
Only applicable to shaft screws with metric standard and fine threads acc. to
DIN 13, sheet 13 and nuts with height of 0,8 x d acc. to DIN 934 and only for a µ
total = 0.125 (screws phosphatized, screws untreated or galvanized.

Lubrication condition: unlubricated and also oiled).
For cadmium-plated screws or nuts (µ total = 0.08 to 0.09) the tightening torque
with screw material at the same level of utilization ca. must be 30% less than
shown in the table.

The values specified in this table apply to all screw connections conforming to the
aforementioned conditions.

Not applicable when using a different surface or lubricant condition on the thread,
or if the height of the nut differs.

Not applicable to necked-down bolts, self-tapping screw connections or to
connections between parts made of different materials.”

Out of stock on shields at the moment so that is the hold up for a full step by step video. Restock eta is 2 weeks.

I'll get a Text/ Photo version made up this week but there are many Diys already on youtube that are 90% the same as our install if you need it right away.

Dumb question from a newb:

Has anyone observed any problematic increase in temperature that you correlate with installing protection of any form over the oil cooler?

[Carefree]

You have it backwards.

Not asking a question is dumb.

I haven't had any issues. I also haven't tracked it after the install either but I can't imagine there being issues. And you sure as shit want your oil cooler protected under the car on the track.

i have not see any issues reported, but i recommend you get an oil cooler guard that does not restrict the air flow to stay away from any future problems.
