That HF trans jack definitely helped with my swap. For me, getting the Starter to line up was the difficult part. I probably took more time trying to do it from the bottom than if I removed the Intake Manifold.😅. Sorry to hear you have a squeak and that you'll be pulling everything out again. Right before you said it I was thinking "Maybe it will go away by itself?" Like you said, "Probably not.". Sigh. We invest so much time, effort and money. Finding a balance of enjoying these cars and working on them to keep them going is brutal sometimes. Hopefully it won't keep you from missing many more Autocross Events. You got this!
The jack was much better than heaving it off my chest lol. Wish it had a crank adjustment for the tilt instead of a locking wing nut. Also there was zero room for the buckle for the strap. But worked great otherwise. Took the car on a two hour ride yesterday and seems the squeal has fixed itself. So who knows - I imagine it’ll still end up being a problem at some point. All in all it’s so great to have it driving again.
