So that explains the gap. I temporarily have a thick washer in there and plan correct it by installing the joist bracket. I'll check the PS pump bracket to see if that's where that nut and bolt belong. I have a feeling it has something to do with the mechanic removing parts to gain access to the valve cover because they were mixed with the valve cover nuts.
Very interesting observation about the Volvo/VW interface.
I didn't get much further this week. The exhaust manifolds are on and connected to the pipes. The intake manifold is on but I had trouble lining up the bolt holes, it took forever. The cooling system has coolant and a five gallon can full of fuel is standing by. I think all that is left is to install the vacuum pump, change the fuel filter, prime the IP and connect the fuel line to the can. I'll leave the CS for later.
Thanks for the support, everyone!
