Where does #12 go?

[Jon K]

I have these things - but, sitting here at work I cannot remember if there is a place that is obvious as to where they should go. I think somewhere on that baby tensioner thing, but any ideas for certain?

they slip over the threads of two studs and hold #11 onto the head.

oh, the studs aren't pictured in the realoem diagram

There is another chain guide in the timing cover (right side looking at the motor head-on) that has 2 studs it goes over, does this part not use any clips?

Are we talking uppper or lower cover? Those are the only clips I'm aware of.

FWIW, they fit over the two longest upper time case cover studs in the pic below
