Oil Cooler Line Connection

cjdzombie · 12-29-2017, 07:22 PM

Do my oil cooler lines look fully seated? There seems to be a slight gap between the upper housing. I can't remember if the connection was fully flush before disconnecting.

They dont go fully flush to the housing. There's a torque spec on that bolt. Its not much, maybe 16 ft-lb or something like that. The O-rings seat in the bores and thats the seal on the lines.
