nah, the cast fitting isn't budging, I'm betting its a combination of the o-ring being cold and some dirt. sprayed it up with some penetrating oil to help it slide and I'll use a heat gun to try and warm it up a bit. I just cut the plastic elbow out previously because I had a replacement set on hand
sure been a learning experience for me, if nothing else I now know my way around the engine bay for future mods better than before, and not to attempt anything gasket-related in the cold. Thanks for the help
