I've been having fun with this project, but I hit a snag with the block coolant connector. The new one appears to be defective. It will not seat to the block. There is a 1/4 inch gap almost all the way around, so it CLEARLY will not seal. Not even going to attempt modifying anything to make it work. I prefer this part to be genuine BMW. The URO brand looks to have a poor mold design.

My old head connector was rotted beyond belief. Pretty much crumbled in my hands.
