Hi,
I just got my motor back from getting rebuilt. I had left a few things attached to the motor when I brought it in (flex plate, water pump, distributor) thinking that they would put them back on, but they didn't (lesson learned). Anyway, I can't find any detailed photos on how the flex plate attaches to the engine. As I did not take these parts off, I want to be 100% certain I am putting them back on properly. Could you please check the photos to make sure I am doing it properly before I attach the transmission. I have the following questions.
1. Does the shield only stays on with the pegs from the block until the transmission gets bolted on?
2. Does the crankshaft washer go on first aligning the 'P' to the additional hole on the block (see photo 1)? Does it matter which way the washer faces?
3. Does the flex plate have to mounted a certain way? I don't see any markings on the flex plate.
4. In photo 2, I included the bolts that I haven't put on yet. Row 2 is for the distributor I believe, but Could someone help identify where the 4 bolts (1 is for the alternator bracket) and other two parts go in row 3. I am also not sure where the blue bracket on the bottom right goes, but I haven't really looked for that yet.
Thank you in advance.
