Do you know if it's necessary to replace the oil return line cover?
There is a heat shield sandwiched between the bottom of the alternator and the top of the oil return cover. Two bolts of that shield sit under the alternator. I didn’t think to try and bend that heat shield out of rhe way, so not sure if that’s an option. If it doesn’t bend enough, then the alternator has to come out to remove the oil return plate.
