Jeff,  At last someone did what I did, except my plate is only 3/8 " 
thick, but then I only use rear mounts with the plate.  Very simple and 
works well to date.  I have no idea if foaming is a problem, but have 
never lost oil pressure, so am assuming there is no problem going on in 
the sump using standard Renesis oil pickup as I have.

The bolt broke in the threaded portion right where the threads were no longer engaged with the housing ... this was posted way back in 2011 ... see message #53485.  Jeff
