Ive got my 7mgte block back from the shop, and they didn't replace all the front and rear covers, and gears. I have no idea how this stuff goes back on.
I have 2 gears, a spring, a cup of bolts and washers, a large front cover for the waterpump, a smaller cover, and then another cover/ring/rainbow shaped piece that Im sure goes around the Harmonic somewhere and then I have the lower brackets that connect to the trans. I cant for the life of me figure those brackets out, One of them has a raised surface where it mounts to the block, and the block mounting location is completly flat. Do I fill the gap with washers? also, all my bolts and stuff are awkward numbers. I have 5 bolts the same length here, 7 the same length there...when i have 8 holes for motormounts, and 4 holes for brackets? confused...
Is there a good diagram or walk through on how to reassemble the timing pulleys and crank pulleys, balancer, covers, gaskets, etc etc? I am way out of my comfort zone right now because I didn't take them off, the shop did. So i have no idea how to fit them back together.

Thanks guys!

Well if he took it in with everything attached they would have pulled everything off and stuck it in a bag.

What I'm wondering is if the rear timing cover was machines with the block if he decked the surface.

i had a spun bearing, so i had them machine the crank put over sized bearings in, new stock rods and pistons with new rings, and then hone the cylinders.
I turned just the block into them with everything on it. and Yes, they disassembled everyhthing, and put it all in one big bag. Which is the problem. Because I didn't remove it, I don't know the process to attach it.
I didnt have a pulley puller, so therefore all the pulleys, the covers, and the timing gears behind the covers were all still there. Now they are all in this bag, with a bunch of other stuff to.
Im not just looking for diagrams, Im looking for torque specs, part numbers, what gaskets i need, and the assembly process.
