    Default Washer identity help

    So, its been 1&1/2 years ago since I tore the old engine down, and started on an Optimizer build. I'm assuming these washers go on a pully or pullies. I'm sure there will be more questions, but Im super close and super stoked. It may be elementary but I'm taking my time and trying not to make any mistakes.

    Thanks Yall

    I have many taken from three engine tear-downs, just can't remember where they all go.

    Upper engine mount cup (3) on each side where they bolt to the block

    I think they also used these on the lower stabilizer bars on 4x4 models where the bars attach to the aluminum lower bell housing cover.

    I have never seen these on any pulleys.

    I think Robyn is correct...

    That's why it's important to bag-n-tag hardware as it is removed from an engine. I'll be re-assembling a 6.5 this winter. Some of the hardware had been marked... maybe 1/2 of it. It'll be a test of my memory for sure...

    I have watched shops do engine R&R and the techs just toss everything in a 5 gallon bucket

    Takes forever to sort through the mess and find all the right stuff when you need it at a particular phase of reassembly.

    The "Tagem and bagem" scheme works so well.

    My Dahooooley was down for 4 years while I built a fresh engine, followed by health issues, and when there was time to get it together the parts were all right there in a large box all neat in zip lock bags.


    The part I hate is all the little plastic ties, clips and other goodies that make the factory job so neat, as these become unavailable after a very few years.


    Tie wraps and some imagination do help.

    Back when I was hot bluing guns, every Spring, I had a system that was absolutely mandatory. Hundreds of parts, especially pins and iron-sight parts. The process (bluing) dictated careful logging and identifying of everything, since every steel part had to be polished and treated with a solution of "hold" and set aside till all were ready to be dipped.
    One year, I had hundreds of individual gun parts, scattered all over my shop, and hundreds of tags, bags, and pages of notes. With bluing done, I had a real field day of sifting through screen boxes and wire hangers, mating up parts to make whole firearms. A young customer saw me doing the pawing, one morning, and asked me how I knew what went where. I just told him that I had to have a good memory. Never did explain that each tiny part (hopefully) had a note on a line of paper, that matched up to a hash-mark, or number that was cut into a hidden surface, somewhere, on each part. In some cases, like a pin, it would be a note, with dimensions taken with mics, down to within a few ten-thousandths. Kid was impressed. I didn't disclose that there were the inevitable couple of parts that always had to be trial-fitted to several guns, before they found their proper home.

    Another helpful tool is to have one of these on the workbench.

    Larger pieces can be just be put in a bin with a label or a group of bags (with labels) can all be put together in a bin. Start at one end and put things in sequence so that you can just reverse the process for reassembly.

    In today's world of electronic gadgets, I have found great favor with the camera in the iphone to get quick pics of things that are important or that may SAVIORBACON later

    Small parts ID or wiring location/routing etc etc.

    For long term layovers on some projects the memory is not enough anymore.

    Usually have the 6+ in my pocket and so easy to snap piccy's

    Just for the record, I took 41 pictures before and during the tear down of the old engine. Turns out, I was about 41 pictures short. Go figure

    Definitely. Pictures before something is removed and then of the removed pieces together and oriented properly. As many pictures as you need.

    Tag and bag is awesome. I did that when I tore mine down. VERY glad that I did.

    It certainly makes the reassemble bunches easier and everything ends up as it was (Well hopefully, if it was factory when you started)
