Get your swear word dictionary up to date.

You need to lift the engine as high as possible, and it may help to loosen the muffler clamp so the exhaust can angle down a bit when it hits the fascia. Check your clearances in back, sometimes taking the rear cross-bar (108330) loose helps a bit too, expecially on a manual since the clutch fork tends to hit it.
