While doing the oil pump and chain I found this on the ground.

I believe it came off one of the power steering brackets or maybe the fuel pump stud?????

I found it before the pan and timing cover was off.

What do I win?

If my memory serves, isn't there a bolt that goes in from the side on the rear bracket that requires the washer?

What size is the washer? 5/16" would be fuel pump, 3/8" would be alt or front of p/s bracket, 7/16 would be p/s bracket on side of motor.

I was hoping it was the side bracket of the PS pump that goes on the side of the engine.

Now is it used as a washer for the bolt or a spacer between the bracket and block?

Thanks!!



The fuel pump bolt and stud are 5/16 So this washer is a little to big for that

C'mon dude, we need measurements down to the micron. Preferably in both metric and standard. Oh, and thickness. That washer looks bent like it was over-touqued. Did you youse touque it? Did you use a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory edition, signature series torque wrench. The kind used by Cal Tech High Energy physicists, and NASA engineers. And how do you know that was accurate? Because a split second before the torque wrench was applied to the bolt holding that washer, it had been calibrated by top members of the state and federal Departments of Weights and Measures, to be dead-on balls accurate.

Dead-on balls accurate?

It's an industry term.
