Hello, thank you for having me here. I have just rescued a 2001 convertible sitting outside for many years. Apparently the timing cover was removed to replace the timing chains. It was never assembled back. I managed to assemble the engine but few questions remain:
1. The top right bolt on the right bank holds a small black sheet metal bracket. How shouldn't it be oriented and what is it's purpose?
I attached pictures for clarity
2The ac line going to the condenser has a Hook shaped.bracket that seems to be attached to the nearest timing cover stud but it is a hard line and seems quite far from the stud. I don't want to start bending it until I'm sure that is where it goes. Picture attached as well.
3I have a left over bracket that seems to hold either a 1/4" or so wiring harness or tubing but could not figure out where it goes. Maybe someone here will recognize it.
Pic attached hed as well.
Thank you for your help!!!
