Anyone Tried the Rotary Works GSL-SE Oil cooler?
 
Has anyone tried this product and can give some feedback on fit and finish? (I believe the part in the link is the right one)

When installing my Accusump, and tighteing the new oil lines, the fitting started pouring oil. The oil cooler was removed and it looks like it was cracked and the previous owner JB-Welded it.

I got another one out of a junk car and it was cracked in the same place. However, without the JB-Weld, it was easier to repair that one. It is old and funky looking, but it does the job. However, on a race track, I know it is just a matter of time before a rock gets thrown through it (My intercooler is above the oil cooler so it is safe).

The Rotary Works ones are $199, which really is not bad. I was wondering if anyone had tried these and how well it fit and how much higher it is than stock as I do not want it to interfere with the intercooler.

If you put some hardware cloth a few inches in front of the oil cooler, you don't need to fear rocks near as much.
