Getting the bottom line to re-attach to the iffy threads was a tedious and loooooong process (3hrs)....BOY AM I GLAD THAT ITS DONE.    I was stressing out that I'd destroy my new (used) oil cooler's threads, I finally forced it on, and it doesn't leak, I ran it till the cooler was running nice and hot for a while, not a drop anywhere. Big improvement over the old one, it had a cracked tube in it so the whole thing was a mucky oily mess. I'm guessing now that the new one is on there it can never come off again....without another set of lines and cooler being needed. Should be a loong while till that happens though.
