I just bought a 1990 Jimmy fullsize 4x4 with a 350 fuel injected motor. Lookng at the oil filter, there is a spacer between the filter and the block that has 2 oil cooler lines coming off of it. The lines look quite "iffy", with a possible small leak. If I take the lines off, and take the filter off, will this spacer just turn off from the engine kinda like a filter does? Then I assume I could just leave the spacer off, and put the new filter directly onto the engine? I don't see the need for engine oil cooling in my case, and would rather eliminate a potential source of leaks by getting rid of the lines. Is this doable, or any other thoughts? Thank you, Earl
