Oil Cooler Blunder Warning!

For those that might be about to install an oil cooler, USE the fittings that the manufacturer recommends and be extremely careful not to over torque them. I just trashed a brand new 180.00 Steeda Oil Cooler by using the incorrect fittings. I pulled the fittings that came on the busted oil cooler that was installed in the Ironman Kirkham and did not even think twice before installing them into the brand new oil cooler. One stripped out and both ate into the fins inside of the cooler. Im usually good about paying attention to this sort of thing, but i guess i have been a lacking on sleep lately. Frickin, frackin,.......

Learn from my mistake. 180.00 FLUSH
