Used a torch to loosen the S IV oil cooler nuts. They were on pretty good.

I thought oil would not burn - surprise!

A good foot of flames erupted.

Perhaps it was penetrating oil floating on top of the oil cooler's oil, I dunno.

I put it out quickly, easily, but it's an unnerving experience.

I keep a functioning fire extinguisher handy, but still...
