Squeaking noise from engine on stage 1a

I hurt just reading this and looking at the videos!
I'm glad you were able to do it though. I know it wasn't fun.
I've seen that plastic piece before, just can't remember where it goes. I'm fairly certain it to collect
the cables and hoses though.

Have you driven the car? Or are you still putting it back together?
Those spring should be tight. If you can move them, that's an issue.

I had planned on replacing my engine, and would have put a new plate in.
But since I'm only driving about 10% of what I had been driving, I've kinda decided against it.
"IF" if fails, then I will replace it. I've also though about just doing the short block. But it's a lot
of work I no longer have the desire or willingness to do.

Please let us know how thing work out.
