Thank you for the help! I actually figured that would be a problem since my oil cooler lines were almost tearing from the vibrations.

I ordered a rubbery fire wrap and will may even add another layer on top of it just incase.

I'm almost ready to put the engine back in, but still not sure where to hook the chains on the front side of the engine. I was thinking maybe the lower intake manifold bolts that hold the injectors?

This is how I solved the clearance issue to the Inlet. I had the bolt just put in reverse and then tightened it from inside to he bracket.
