Timing chain replacement mini project. (Might be dead!)
Yeah, I already got the water pump, TA mount, and everything installed but the PS pump (I know which bolts those are), accessory bracket, ICM, and a few odds and ends before starting.
I'll grab a pic of the bolts I have left over, I just have a few that look similar, but confuse me on where they go.
Next time... I am marking and bagging all of them.

Here are some pics of the bolts left...Quarter used for size reference -




And there is one more stud just like the one above, only slightly bigger in size.

Power steering pump bolts

Hopefully this helps, I am kinda panicking because I have a job interview tomorrow.

That stud is probably for holding the coolant bypass/heater hose to the accessory bracket. The bolt (fairly short) with the long shoulder should be for the short alternator bolt (forward bolt).
IIRC, there'* only 3 going from the ABracket to the rear head, and they should be the first 3 pictured.

I cannot believe this.....
I primed it right and everything.......
Thought it was a lifter tap............
IT'* KNOCKING.
It'* WAY too loud to be a lifter tap.
I cannot believe this.... Now I have to miss my interview, I have NO money, and now NO car.

Ok, I am at a loss.... I drained the oil... clean... so i proceed to pull the filter off...
Absolutely NO oil in the filter whatsoever... What did I do wrong? Is my engine toast? I am so worried now... I don't even know what to do.

I bet a know what you did....
Did you take off the oil filter adapter? And if so, did you put the spring and cup back in it?
And...you do know you are supposed to fill the oil filter with oil before putting it on the motor, right?
