Engine rebuild - quick bottom end questions

[mgaut]

Just a quickie; I'm separated from my "new" engine build for a few days, and also the Haynes manual (Granada) so apologies that I don't know the name of all (or indeed any!) of the parts, but here goes ...

Balanced crank now fitted to cleaned block, and balanced pistons/rods with new oil seals attached to crank.

On the 4 jobbies that hold the crank in, the second one from the front has 2 horseshoe side bits with tabs on the top of them to hold them in place against the jobbie (this is the one with the oil pickup bolt on).

I've now got 2 left over non-tabbed horseshoe side bits, and the manual very cleverly says attach them to one of the other jobbies and see picture, but that's really not helping me. I can't see how they are going to fit to any of the other 3 without falling out and destroying my new engine.

Can somebody please put me out of my misery so when I get home later this week I can get the sump on and start on the front and rear.

Many thanks (I did write down the extract from the manual that I couldn't understand, but I've left that at home).

The the un-tabbed thrust washer (one of 2 each side of that main bearing housing one tabbed and the the other un-tabbed) gets rotated into position with the oil groves facing out once the crank lays into the block (in the correct main bearings) and at dummy build stage the end float is checked and these are replaced with differing thickness versions.

many thanks Adrian; the rest of the build will be plain sailing.
