Help with Timing Cover bolt!!!

Got all but one of the timing cover bolts back in, can remember everything about the removal but where this ONE bolt goes (long bolt like 1/2 the bolts, but has a spacer on it)?

Anyone remember which hole this goes into on the timing cover???



If anyone has a diagram of the assy or pics of the front of an assy'd engine/timing cover, I would be in your debt!!

That one goes in at the bottom, just to the driver side of the crankshaft pulley. I believe the spacer is there to deflect the belt back toward the pulley if it starts to whip.
Care is needed when installing the belt so it doesn't get hooked on that spacer.

Oh man, thanks!! Needed to get this back together ASAP. Drizzly and rainy now, but tomorrow AM I'll get it back together and start with the other maintenance items.

That's where I thought it went, I knew it wasn't in most of the other long-bolt-holes, but it didn't make sense to have a spacer for no reason.

Thanks again!!!
