T 500 install

Well after having the T 500 in the box for almost a year. I think I will try and put it on today. Any tips or tricks?
thanks all

Put anti sieze on the bolts. Do not over tighten.

X2 on what Pete says, very important. Also, on the install of the oil lines, do not overtighten them because the tin flange can crack.

It's okay, We are way cooler down here anyways.

I gotta do oil cooler as well, but waiting on a radiator to do it.

Gotta drain coolant to do oil cooler, so better do both in one shot.
