Possible to Install Oil Line After SSI's?
 

I had to install my yoke on the left side of the engine because the heater exchanger was interfering with it. Now I'm trying to install the backdated oil line that connects to the engine and it is interfering with the yoke. I don't want to tighten it down off center and risk damaging the line or having leaks later on.

So is it possible to install this line after the SSI's are installed when I take the engine off the stand? It looks like it might be near impossible to do this later on. Otherwise I'm going to have to take the engine off the stand, switch the yoke to the other side and put it back on the stand before I install the left side SSI. I'm trying to avoid this extra step, but I don't want to have to remove the left side SSI after I find out I can't get the oil line on.

Any advice?

It's tight but from my recent experience you should clear everything with ssi on. Do you happen to have the two oil lines that you mY have removed to get ssi? I need the line to the block and to that line to the thermostat. Good luck.

Sorry. I had to destroy them to get them off.
