I am just finishing up my build on my 7M-GTE build. I have a few questions that I need answered about parts that i forgot where they went.

1. First is there supposed to be the exact amount of screws for the valve covers as there are bolt holes in them? The reason i am asking is because i was short one screw and one of the half metal half plastic washers that comes with the gasket rebuild kit. I was wondering if some sort of mounting bracket or other bolt goes in there or if im just missing the two parts.

2. what goes into the drivers side of the block. There is a hole that kind of looks like a small block chevy fuel pump would bolt up to it? I obviously know its not a fuel pump but something must go there. I have the gasket for it it and its the super thick gasket?

3. What goes in the other threaded hole that is in the oil pan. Obviously one hole is for the oil pan drain pulg but the other one looks like a return line may go to it.

4. This may be a tough one to answer but I have a piece that looks like it has had exhaust or oil flowing through it due to the black stuff on the inside. On one end it is and oval piece of metal with a hole that goes into a small strech (3-5 inches) ans is bent almost to a nintey degree angle and at the other end it appears it has fitting on it that is supposed to screw on to something.

To make life eaiser on me and you if you know the answer to one of the questions just put the number of the question you are answering so i know!

Thanks guys and sorry for the tedious questions

There are the same number of screws as holes on the covers.

Bet that's where the "J" tube fitting goes ;)

Big banjo fitting...it's the return from the oil cooler.

Don't know...need a pic of this one.
