Oil Pan guru's Inside please...:)

We are putting the oil pan back on my husbands Formy..There are 3 clip thingys that he took off with the oil pan bolts. He doesn't remember and I have no clue of where to put them back.

One looks like it is for the tranny coolant lines, but I don't know where it goes. Also, the other 2 I have no idea what the purpose is or where they go.

Please help..Asap.

Thanks!!

Your right about the tranny cooler lines. It should be "forked" w/ two prongs bent back up. It goes on the passenger side towards the front about 4-5 bolts back. Not sure about the others.

Can you be a little more specific? It just isn't clicking what I am supposed to do with them or where they hook to. Thanks!

there is a piece that goes inbetween the block and the oil filter,that is the oil cooler that cools the oil by passing anti-freeze through the cooler and cools the oil, those hoses hook up to the cooler and I can't remember were they hook into the cooling system at. that is one of the things I will have to figrue out when I go to put my engine back in.

good luck
