Too bad I can't remember the removal part...
I'm having a bit of difficulty putting the cooling sheet metal back on and I'm wondering if someone can give me some tips as to order of operation. I know it should seem straight forward, but...maybe it's just me. I've put the fan shroud on first, and mocked up the alternater and I can't seem to get the tin between it and the cylinder (#60 in diagram). Does #60 get screwed into #56? I kind of have it wedged in, but #56 is not being a willing participant. BTW, I feel stupid asking for help on this. Attached image(s) |

I can't remember exactly, but I think # 60 is the piece that the thermostat cable goes thru. slide it into place first, and run the cable thru the hole and attach it. It helped me to lay all the pieces on the ground and "mock up" how they fit first.

The part between the cylinder and the fan shroud goes in before the over-cylinder tin. Ditto the part on the passenger's side of the engine (#63). I recall that there was some wiggling of the parts and cursing them (German language optional--heck, language at all optional!) required for those two small parts to slide into place.
