anyone have trouble installing this kit? I got it on, but the oil filter extender they provided was a pain to tighten down due to a metal piece of the thermostat housing that lead me not able to place a socket completely on it. I tried a regular socket, i tried a thin wall and a metal piece that's a part of the housing on the left just made it impossible. I got it tightened down, but the sides are now rounded off.
Also with the longer hose, did anyone run into an issue of the house being kinked? I tried to do everything possible even rerouting it differently to make sure it isn't kinked, but had an issue. I had to reroute it under the AC line in order to eliminate some of the kink issue. Trust me I tried to do it with the thermostat portion loose and even tried it with thermostat portion off and the front mount even loose. Still either way, the kink is there. Directions were followed properly. Perhaps a defect?
Yeah it's on there and isn't leaking, but concern is when the vortech kit comes and if i need to move the thermostat housing over more, I don't think I can get the nut off easily since it's kinda rounded off on the edges now. Then I'd be worried about trying to retighten the thing so it won't leak.
tried to hit up perrin about this but no phone call back. i'll hit them up again on monday. any input or help would be great though.
