[Shotimes] Putting my engine back together, what do I need to remember?

[dmf@meumonus.com]

Maybe I wasn't clear? I do not know what the correct order is, so that is
why I posted what I think the order is. I also wanted to know if there are
any caveats or warnings or tricks that people employ.

I doubt that most people after tearing down an engine for the first time
will know exactly how to put everything back together again.

Thanks again!

Just look at all the parts, and put the ones on fist that you took off last.
