having been through my own issues recently buying used parts I totally sympathize.

Do not use those threads the way they are, you could lose oil pressure ina variety of ways.

if something is loose at all inside, it needs R&R..bad

please pm with info about who sold you this. I wont say anything, just curious and concerned.

I am not tryig to sell my crap, just help out. I have an oil cooler if you are interested; it has the two threads on the bottom, is that correct? much better condition, much cleaner. Will send pic first.. name your price.
