Has anyone had any problems with the fitting between the elbows and the Tru-Cool oil cooler?

My friend and I did the mod and everything was fine, but after the road test the was some bad leaking around the elbows. We pulled them off and found that the treads were stripped off the elbows. I think that we might have been shipped the wrong size elbows. While he was installing the elbows he complained the they were tight, but he thought it was to prevent leaks. Luckly the oil cooler threading doesn't look damaged.
