Where do these bolts go ?

I'm putting the front cover back on the Super A and am having a problem remembering where the various bolt go. I had all the bolts of the front cover in a separate bag, but there are a couple that are different.

As always thanks for your help
Brian.

I just changed the front crankshaft seal on my 49 Super A. When you say front cover I assume you are talking about the sheetmetal cover that goes over the camshaft gear etc. All my bolts were the same except for the bolts that hold the govenor on. There were three different lengths of bolts that hold the govenor on. I hope this helps.

Not familiar with front cover on an A, but when I turned wrenches for a living I made a common practice of keeping track of bolts so I knew where they went. When I took something off I often would thread the bolts back into the hole they came out of. Either that or I would stick them through the whole of what I took off. And things of this nature would make it much simpler to put something back together. It also allowed me to put stuff back together with much less time. Never had to look for the right bolts, or figure out where they went. It was alot better system than putting them in a box or something. You will know where the bolt came from when you take it out, but will often forget over time. There must be a reason why the bolts are different. If you can figure that out, it might explain where they go.

thanks for the help. I had the bolt in the holes like you suggested, but I had the block cleaned and had to remove them. A digital camera would have been great in this case.
I will take the advice and try to figure the reason why there would be different lenghts. There is also a "stud" with a nut which I was wondering about.

If the bolts are just different lenghts, they probably more than likely have to go where the cover plate is thicker (allowing the whole they go through to be longer). Either that or they go into the block where the whole is deeper but I would rather think it is the first reason. The nutted stud either had something else that bolted on the stud other than the cover plate, or the stud was threaded into the block which allowed the cover plate to be slid on over the stud and the stud could then be used as a guide for installation (the nut threaded on after several of the bolts were started). Those are the two primary reasons for use of a threaded stud/nut. In future projects you might try putting the bolts in cover plate holes when removing them from threaded holes in block during a cleaning process. When I was turning wrenches sometimes I would see up to 3 or 4 different lenghts of bolts that bolted something on. Staying really strict on keeping track of them allowed a person to reassemble exactly the way it was tore down. I don't mean to sound like a hard stickler but it really is a good system to follow. Take an engine out of modern day vehicle and tear it clear down and how many nuts and bolts do you got? Hundreds. And you have to put it back together. Good reason to have good system even on small projects. Pictures are good but it seems there is always something you forgot to take a picture of and they leave out some detail such as how long the bolt is when you take the picture of something assembled.
