    Hey guys,
    I'm top swapping this weekend and there's just a few things I'm confused about. 1) Where does the tensioner that doesn't go on the cast-iron bracket bolt to? 2) Where does the MAP Sensor bracket go?
    Thanks.

    Be sure to put all 3 bolts that hold that pulley bracket on. 0ne of them gets threaded into the water jacket. If you dont put all of them in you will leak coolant. Ask me how i know...lol.

    it does. lol

    use thread sealant on any bolts in the water jacket. or it can also leak.

    back side of the sc. its next to the evap solenoid. they get bolted down with a bracket that goes to where the sc bolts down.
