David: I won't comment on the compatibility question cuz i'm just not
smart enough in that area.
I will say that i often remove the tps (after carefully marking its
adjustment location) in order to avoid damage by the engine lift
chain. You're right, it's right in a bad position to conflict with
the strap/chain that you use to heft it.
