Oh yeah. Lowering the engine slightly makes it much easier. Only slightly though as the rear oil pipe will snag on the tin.
On both c2 and c4 I haven't had to undo the dizzy

I found the tin was able to be removed without adjusting the distributor housing. It certainly didn't move without some encouragement and the left side (distributor side) was tight. I did lower the engine an inch or two, which freed up the tin enough to remove it. I hope the reinstall is better and possible without lowering the motor. I hope to not have to undo my mounts. I'd like to be able to put it up on my lift to get better access and this is hard when motor support is required. I'll be sure to post some follow up of the powder coated tin and the reinstall. Thanks! Tim

Just got the tin and muffler bracket back from powdercoating. 'Crinkled' finish. All good. This will go on this weekend, along with my heater bypass!
