How did you remove the.300" ? take to a machine shop with a lathe or ? And what part needed to be machined ? was it the base that sits against the block? Cause it may be much cheaper then buying them damn greddy or golden eagle adapters!

I took it into school and turned it off in a lathe. Real simple to do, a pain in the *** to grab a hold of. We had to thread a rod and screw the plate on, that was the only way we could hold it straight in the chuck, then we just turned it off.
This was the piece that mates to the block. Its just a blockoff plate, not the sandwich adapter. I abandoned the sandwich plate and went for the filter relocation instead (more oil capacity).

Any idea if the sandwich plate has the same issue ?

nice work man, i give you props for messing with oil period. i had a ton of problems with my turbo install and leaking oil.

the pressure sensor fitting up by the intake is a b itch, i crossthreaded it when i did my install of my oil feed line, when i had to take my head off to do the headgasket i went back in and it was a easy fix without the intake there.

let me know how it turns out. did i mention i hate oil?

Yes, except you can't really do much about that because the ports come out the side. The issue with it is that you need to run 90 degree elbows out of it to get the lines in and the elbows will hit stuff. If someone makes a honda adapter then you probably could have some luck with finding something small... but the universals are a bit big to really fit in there. I'm not sure if I've ever done anything in the engine bay without modifying parts first.
