crystalworks is on a distinguished road
I am in agreement TriX5. Very Ferrari like in their serviceability. I am rapidly adding items to an FCP Euro order. To include, exhaust gaskets, Vband clamp for turbo, Xfer case mount (this one is completely ripped out @ 166k miles), some aluminum bolts, guibos (these are fine, but I don't want to get down there again in my ownership, and possibly engine mounts depending on their condition upon removal.

Some pictures.

The patient.

Next step is to grab my engine support bar and raise the engine an inch or so off the motor mounts (after undoing nuts). Then remove the right side engine mount arm and engine mount itself. THAT should give me the clearance I need. If not, I will also have to lower the subframe on that side by an inch or so.
