Where the heck does this go?

[Bravo]

derbeck is correct!

[bulletracer2]

they are for in between the blockand the head they are alignment dowels

[derbeck]

That bracket looks like the exhaust hanger at the end of the down
Pipe

Alright, another quick question. This is my big metal plate that goes on the block before you put on the flywheel. Some of the crummy plastic or rubber along the inner edge of it has come off. Is it okay to keep it like that or does theblack plastic serve a real gasket purpose?

yes thats your rear main seal. it the plastic part of it is cracked or broken you should replace it. try get the part number online and order one from nissan. or buy a engine gasket kit.

as for that braket it looks like a mounting spot for some of your power steering lines, not 100% though

Here's another random part I can't seem to identify. Looks like a mini-engine or trans mount, rubber in the center. Anybody know where this goes?

andrew_dk, you are my savior. pics are always massively helpful.
I took my manifold and put the 2 small dowels in, fit perfectly. Thanks!
Ill update when I've got another question

[derbeck]

Id say those are lower injector o-rings, 2 intake dowels, and block to bell housing dowel

[andrew_dk]

Have a look at these pics.. in the first pic (upper intake manifold) see the lower 4 intakes, notice how two of the holes (upper left and lower right) are a larger diameter than the others? that's for two of those inserts


the other two (missing one?) align the lower manifold to the head (See the two larger holes in this pic.. the two non-stud holes on the outer two intake / water line sets..) top row

[jdms13rhd]

oops. gts section. I have no clue right now then :S mt bad.

[jdms13rhd]

for the itb`s.

They use a bunch of those smaller/taller ones.

[m_melen]

Eh, they don't seem to fit into the timing cover either. They don't fit into any of those holes and the covers don't seem to need them.

[Nismo_line]

ya try the timing belt cover. they look like they would fit there

[Supraclean]

I was going to say that those dowels are for the intake plenum aswell. If not the only other ones I know about are the ones from the block that meet the head.. And or the ones that are in the timing belt cover.

[m_melen]

Thanks for the confirm on the o rings. The two smaller dowels are too small to go in the two dowel holes from the runners to the head. Other ideas?
