Oil cooler line misaligned

[mdp1385]

I'm at a loss here. I can't seem to get the right side line on without a lot of force or crimping. Thanks in advance for any help!

was it ok before you took it off? what did you change? they go between #1,2 3,4 but you know the gen 1 and gen2 have different lines and oil coolers..do you have the right bracket on the bottom? its the long one

if its that bad just put a bypass on and do away with it

It was ok before I took it off. I just took the oil cooler and headers off to replace the oil pan gasket. I left the oil cooler bracket on the cooler. I just removed the two bolts from the block. I removed the one bolt on the radiator bracket, and left the bracket attached to the block. The right line is between 1,2 and the left 3,4. I may just have to do a bypass since this is driving me insane! Any ill effects?

Loosen all the bolts you removed, make sure that the headers are properly installed in the exhaust ports, install the lines to the oil cooler, they only fit one way and then adjust the bolts back again, looks to me that you may have bended the tabs on the bracket (Radiator) that holds the cooler, that's why the anlge doesn't line up.... if you do the bypass make sure you take out that allen plug...I have a 1507 with the bypass for the last couple of years, no problems so far...
