If you need more room I believe the large Motor Mount Blots need to be loosened or removed.

Maybe that was what was going on but I had the mounts unbolted and never saw enough clearance to remove them so I cut the old oil lines to get them out and then after a LOT of fiddling around and a LOT of expletives I got the new lines in. When I did this project I put some large pieces of card board under the car incase of any oil drips, by the time I finished it looked like the Exon Valdez had been there. I think it took almost as long to clean up the mess as to do the job
