Replaced new radiator- when reinstalling hole in fan shroud the intercooler doesn't line up about 1 1/2 offset- I can't figure out how that difference could be- I attached the intercooler and the radiator in what I thought were the only 4 holes possible-installed from the bottom -attached the 2 side mounting bolts- outlet hose mount is to the left of the hole in the fan shroud as you face the engine. There wasn't much play to be that far off. I watched a couple youtube video's and unless I missed it, seemed like a straightforward reinstall. Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks appraiser1

Could be worse. You could be from the UK and astounded how North Americans can make a 1 hour game last 4/5 hours! (Superbowl).
