2004 C2 - I'm assembling my engine and so far the bag and tag that I used has been working great.
Leading evidence: 'Use has been working great' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check with the len' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I check with the Len to see if they have any extra's laying around and if not I order new I guess.

Another question while I'm at it, the exhaust manifold gaskets cannot be re-used once tightened, correct?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2004 C2 - I'm assembling my engine and so far the bag and tag that I used has been working great. I also took hundreds of pictures, except of the muffler bracket (the piece mounting to the engine). I guessed I skipped this because it must have seemed so obvious. For this part, there are two holes on the longer side of the bracket that bolt in front of the exhaust ports (pretty sure of that). The top of the bracket (with the shorter bar with two mounting holes) sticks up above the camshaft cover. From non-related pictures I have and researched, these two holes appear to bolt to a different bracket? I'm not finding any part in my inventory that those top bolts would connect to.
Can someone help with pictures or describing how/what the top bar of this bracket attaches to? I've attached two photos showing different angles of the bracket with only the bottom bolts in. I must be missing something simple.
Thanks
Thanks guys. I know exactly what happened. I did not take that off of the head when I sent the heads out. The shop must have taken them off and didn't return them (which is my fault for missing removing them before shipping them off). I check with the Len to see if they have any extra's laying around and if not I order new I guess. Appreciate everyone's help.
Another question while I'm at it, the exhaust manifold gaskets cannot be re-used once tightened, correct? I should have put the muffler brackets on prior to the exhaust manifold and now I can't get bank 1 slid in so I will have to loosen the header. I don't recall seeing the raised ridge like on gaskets for the water pump, etc.
