with the RRE SS oil line how many times can you get the 90 degree elbo at the oil filter housing to turn.. i can only get it to turn like 1 full rev. and it gets tight, i dont wanna strip it ;[
 
thats about as tight as it gets....it catches in the first couple threads...DO NOT over tighten it
 
Make sure it is in straight. It looks kinda funky when you are screwing it in. It should be able to go quite a few more times before it gets tight, but do not force it.
 
well i put a wrench on it and got it with my hand 1 full revo... and i got it like 1 and a half more times with a wrench not too too tight but its not leaking... finished my install!!!!!!!~!~!!~!~ only thing that scared the bejeesus out if me was the smoke off the exhaust manifold from pb and other stuff
