I got a new o-ring, but it was so slippery up there and I can't see it to know if it is lining up right...does anyon have a pic of the oil cooler off with the o-ring on it?

I think if I can look at a pic...then I can feel around up there to see if it is fitting right. There are basically 2 places it could go on there...

one is strech around this lip edge part or the other is rest on the outside of the little humped up part...

anyone??? This is really what's stopping me from getting it on the road and tuning.

1)Remove oil filter
2)Remove oil coiler
3)Wipe the oil cooler mouting surface completely dry with the help of some acetone on a rag
4)Apply some Black RTV to the back of the o-ring
5)Press o-ring onto oil cooler.

There is a "channel" on the back of the oil cooler where the o-ring sits. I used the RTV simply to make the o-ring "sticky" so it wouldn't slip around within the channel and possibly fall out when I was positioning the oil cooler into place. Make sense?

Exactly. Though, I just tacked the o-ring into place onto the oil cooler (just 4 tiny dots of cement) with some contact cement and then lubed up the o-ring liberally with oil. Nadda drop
