I will have exactly two original components in the refrigerant loop, both of the metal fittings that connect to the TXV.

It was directed at you. So you did not do any testing or diagnosis to learn what caused the squeal? I fixed the smoking clutch with 1/10 can of brake clean. Are you saying I should have replaced the R4 instead?
