Default Help with reassembly

I have finally got the engine back in and I have having a little trouble remembering all the connections and wires and such. Right now there are three that are puzzling me. If anyone can assist with maybe a photo of yours if it’s similar please let me know. I wish I would have thought to just buy a go pro and record the whole process.


Anyone know where this cooler line bracket attaches to on the passenger side?


Anyone know what this small bolt is for? I think it was maybe to hold a wiring harness but not sure. It is above the water pump and behind the power steering pump mount, drivers side of engine.

The third one is the transmission dipstick tube bracket. I don’t have a pic right now but I can seem to line it up with the bolt on the side of the block I think it goes to.

Here are some pictures of the transmission tube. No matter how I twist it it’s still far off. Could the section that is attached to the tranny have pulled up? It’s red colored. And the tube did get caught on the motor when I hoisted it out a little.

The bracket for the cooler lines is supposed to be behind the engine mount. It bolts to the side of the block almost behind the oil filter base. Just doing the same exact thing to my 04. The tranny tube must have gotten tweaked somehow. Mine popped right in like it came out.

I haven't gotten that far yet but the small bolt on the bottom of the head I think is for a wire clip?? I will be finishing up tonight after work and can try for some pics if you want.

Yes! Thanks I think I see the spot for that bracket. Here’s a pic.

I figured out the small bolt. It holds a wiring harness that snakes back there and over to the alternator. Now I just got to figure out how my trans tube got tweaked. Any chance you get some some pics of yours close up?

Ok I think you're missing something. The dipstick doesn't bolt directly to the head. It bolts to the bracket that holds the heater hoses. First pic is no dipstick. Then put in and set bracket in place so you can see where it goes

Ahh. Thanks. That makes more sense. I haven’t attached that part yet. I will get that bracket on and see how it lines up. Thanks!
