Timing cover bolt order?

Hey guys, First time really tearing into a truck period. But I got my crankshaft seal on but did not keep a good mental picture of where all the timing cover bolts went. Anybody know of anywhere with an exploded view of the timing cover and which bolts go where?

Well I think there is two longer ones for the crank position sensor.. well, maybe Wanna will chime in... I think he has done about 70 of them, so he should have a pretty good skimatic in his head

Big head with spacer goes bottom right of the crankshaft. All the other bolts should be the same size. 1 set of long and 1 set of short. Put the short bolts in first they will only thread into where they go. Then all the longs in the remaining places. Torque to 18ft lbs when done

Not sure only thing i could think of was it kind of keeps the belt where it belongs. Might have something to do with protecting something if the belt broke?

Nah. I think it'd be too small. It doesn't stick out enough to make any difference, I think.

I noticed it when I did my KDP and couldn't figure it out.

well i got most of the bolts in but i guess I need a picture of where exactly the two bolts with spacers go that hold the harmonic dampener reader. I know the proximity but i dont know the two exact holes. I can remember how that thing assembles down through there anyway?

still need to know where that little piece that looks like a clip and has one prong coming out and going up fits in, it has something to do with holding the dampener sensor
