did you clean the cooler and lines at all when you put it back on?

Yes, much cleaning. Diesel fuel and compressed air. You just can't get it all. It gets driven into the nooks and crannies under 60-80psi. Then seems to reenter the oil path randomly. It's hard enough to build one clean without sabatoging yourself.
