Turbo is in.... But need some info
Alright fellas turbo is in BUT IM STILL WAITING ON PARTS!
Anyway I cant get the drain tube all the way in the block, to me it looks like it needs to go in abit more cause i can still see the second o-ring abit!
Anyone have any suggestions or advice, ive been trying to get that dang thing in for the past hour probably!

Get a small set of channel locks and adjust them so they dont squeeze the return line but are tight enough to rest on the lip above the o-rings and pull it down in place(do it from under the truck)

If it isn't in all the way you will have oil
every where under your truck when
you test drive it. I took a long two by four
wedged it on top of line, an slowly pushed in.
This was after I went to car wash to clean
off the oil that leaked from line not being
seated.

What I did...
I took a piece of 550 cord (heavy twine) and tied it in a loop around the oil line with enough slack to stick some 3/8ths extensions in, twisted the extensions to make it tight, then pulled down while I had a buddy reach through the wheel well with his hands on top of mine wiggling it a little. It was a pita, but it worked. I was laying on my back under the truck, and kinda did a chin up... I had one short 3" ext that I stuck in there first, and then put a couple 6" on either side...
