I saw this comment before I watched the video and felt immediately sick to my stomach. I had the same oil line on top of my tool box and my engine, with exhaust attached, bolted into my car. By the grace of the car gods, I was able to easily slip my oil line in place as I have headers and not heat exchangers. I don't know that I can accurately quantify my relief.

I'm so notorious for this, my dad brought me two pairs of cut-resistant work gloves when he last came for a visit. Since then, those gloves have saved me from the angle grinder, bench grinder, and band saw...

Starter motor is spinning freely but engine not turning over...
Straight away I realised I forgot to fit the starter ring to the pressure plate assembly.. had the motor back out in about 2 hours.. and never made that mistake again!!

Is that better or worse than an upside down clutch disc? Because I've done that at least 3 or 4 times.
Project is really coming along, Jeff. Love following along here and on YT.
