pesd Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Anyone know what or were this part goes on my 16 valve. That's what happens when a project drags out for five months. any help is appreciated, thanks. pesd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper1 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It looks similar to one of the shims that goes on the spare tire well between the mounting tab and the body, but it's not exactly right. What have you been working on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesd Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 thanks, front end, turbo replacement, right wheel assembly, drive shaft, new seals, had to take every thing out to get to the turbo. coolant and oil lines, air intake and vacuum lines. exhaust. everything almost back together, but that part has me concerned. maybe it doesnt even belong to this project??

Reaper1 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Did you put the shims back under the passenger's side engine mount? Still doesn't look exactly like one, but similar. Only 2 other things that come to mind off the top of my head are: -hood guide blocks in the engine bay attached to the fenders -shift cable hold down I'm not the world's gift to cars by any means, but I'm usually pretty good at memorizing where certain components go. Having taken 3 TC's pretty much all the way apart I can't say I recall this part. Doesn't mean it doesn't belong, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesd Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thanks Reaper, I'll take a look at the two other options you suggested but hoping another member might come up with something, hopefully starting the engine by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like an end piece used on a three liter V6 intake gasket. One was used at each end of the gasket where it contacted the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesd Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 thanks anyhow, all back together running great and it wasn't a V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Tech Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thought maybe you had some V6 parts laying around and that could be from another engine. I saw that you had a four in your TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
