Found after motor back in Options

[last337]

Of course as soon as I get the motor back in I look in toolbox and see a few bolts and nuts sitting there, staring at me. I have been staring at all visible areas and I am at a loss. Thought maybe someone might have an idea based on what I have done:


Pulled motor
Removed all tin, impeller housing pieces, alternator mount
Impeller
Oil cooler (replaced seals)
Transmission separated
flywheel/clutch removed

I did all the above over a year ago when I started fixing hellhole and longs and took apart more than I needed but used chance to clean everything thoroughly

So I have what looks to be the following left:

three M8 x 40 bolts
three A8 spring washers
two M8 x 20 bolts and matching M8 nuts

I was a bit worried they were for impeller (only place I remember 3 bolts) but I remember putting those on. I dont recall putting the M8x20's back into the oil cooler brackets so that might account for those two but leaves me with a really odd number of things left. I also dont remember using anything on shroud/tin but the 4 nuts and spring washers that hold it to the front of the motor.

I am really kickin myself over this and I know I could easily take it all apart and still not find any spots for these. I have been going through exploded diagrams and just lost. Its possible these were from somewhere else in engine bay or maybe even just floating in car when I got it but it was too long ago even as organized as I tried to be with it.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated

Yeah, the bolts to hold the fan to the fan hub are longer, 39 or 45mm. The only 8 x 30mm bolts listed are the 1 at the center of the fan and 1 at the top of the shroud holding the halves together, and for the tierods, but probably it's not that.

Possible that the wrong length bolt got used somewhere along the line or that you swapped 2 bolts. It's common to forget the bolt for the oil cooler bracket to shroud. I think there's only 1 for that though, along with the 2 6mm ones holding it together. Though the pet shows an oil cooler support, #5 there on illustration 114-10 that I've never seen.... maybe it's a lat e car thing? I'm thinking you mean oil cooler bracket, not oil filter bracket as the latter is held on by studs with nuts.

In response to falcor75, I think the answer is the air conditioner compressor? I think there are 4 threaded holes, 1 of which is recessed to bolt the oil cooler bracket to, The others are unused if you don't have air conditioning.
