    FWIW, when @Ragingfit did his 4th gen transplant into Prius v, reusing EGR, it ends up free-spanning, from exhaust connection to intake manifold, passes by the head without contact.

    Nice.

    Welp I dropped a socket while trying to remove the camshaft assembly. It fell in the back of the engine. I think it's past the steering arm somewhere. Checked under the car and it didn't fall through. Use my mirror and magnet and I guess its further back. So now I have to jack this car up fully, try to remove the undercarriage and fish those out.
