new oil line seating properly?
I think I know the answer, but I replaced one of the oil lines from the case to the thermostat. With the nut at the thermostat as tight as I can manage, the line isn't perfectly snug with the thermostat, it's able to move with the inside bevel at the T-stat. I wouldn't call it loose as it only rotates within the nut. Here's a video of what I'm talking about...

Not supposed to be like that. It needs to be tight, unmovable tight.

Pretty much what I figured. I pulled the whole thing out again and chased the threads of the T-stat a few more times and found some Hulk strength, all is nice and tight now, thanks!

Get off my lawn!

I have to use the two wrenches in such a way as to just squeeze the two wrenches together with my hand strength to get it tight enough.
