Then unbolt the fixed end of the steering stabilizer, swing it out of the way. I've done this several times. MUCH easier.

Second, why the heck are you guys home brewing your chain guides? Just get the engnbldr kit, or go to DOA. I don't know about you, but my time is worth WAAAAAY more than the $10 or so you'd save with all that work. Sheesh...
Hey man, I was looking in the bay and those engine mounts look pretty tight in terms of access. Any tricks before I start e.g. fender wells out etc...

Also, how much do I need to raise the engine i.e. how many 2x4's?

Thanks
