I at one point actually had the right side in and attached with a few bolts, but with the engine in the car there was simply zero access to some other bolts. May have been able to get them started, but actually torquing them properly was never gonna happen. The usual "drop the k member" strategy would not have helped, as the most probematic areas were on the top facing side.

So I unfortunately had to say f*** it, it just was not justifyable to pull my engine out for that. I've heard that even with the engine out and on a stand it can still be a little challenging.
