User error seems to be the issue.

Seems like the lines are in the perfect place. It almost looks like it was done to access the case bolt. The lower hose needs to be tilted down a touch and the upper one needs to be taken off and repaired, however you choose. They aren’t under any big pressure. My observation and this is what I’d do

That kink could only have been caused by over rotation during install.


Other than that everything look ok.

Yep agree with that, but look at the very first question in post #1

the adapter is an oring seal (though I also added ptfe plumbers tape) So it has to seat, that position is clocked about the same as mine. Have not had an adapter line up vertical (6 o'clock) and I'm fairly sure the threads are being cut fairly consistent.



However it is important to note that the lower hole position should pass through to sump lower case portion while the upper hole mates up to the center and feeds the pump inlet.
