Engine tins and SSI heat exchangers, before or after heat exchanger install Options

[Wew]

Hi all,

I should have taken more detailed pictures of my engine and tins upon disassembly. I did, not but enough of them and of course the pictures I don't have of certain tins are exactly the ones I am not sure where and in what order they go.



I also just opened a set of heat exchangers I purchased over 6 months ago. Kinda tells you the rocket fast pace I am moving. I think I have spent more time in front of the motor and transmission with friends talking shop and drinking beers.

I noticed a tiny hole and a couple of little cracks on the edges of one of the exchangers. Is this cosmetic or something that needs attention?

And of course the Tins, do they go on before or after the exchangers? I have found a spot for most of the other tins, and these are the last two. Please don't tell me I have to remove everything to get them on... ha.

As always, much appreciated for any feedback and guidance.

Pictures attached.

Nice catch on the copper gasket.

Sorry to hear about the accident. How is life post artificial disk? What model did you get? How do the get that thing installed from the front in that location?!
I came close to getting a disc replacement for a lower back disc as part of a clinical trial but chickened out.
