    Hi friends,

    Currently installing my drive plate/flex plate to the block. Found online the order of the spacers/ following FSM to guide.

    What haven't seen understood yet. .
    which side of the flex plate faces torque converter/which faces engine,
    this is where at right now for visual/see: pics below, current order of installation.

    Pic 1 black spacer to start

    Pic 2. nubs (torque to flex plate bolt in) point outward will face the torque. If that's right

    Pic 4 silver metal space between flex plate n torque converter

    Does that spacer line up order n such (direction of flexplate to torque/engine block) look right, y'all?

    would appreciate anyone's input with these ?s ^_^

    Wrong orientation and assembly.

    Should go (Thick spacer - Flex plate *welds face towards engine* - thin spacer with dimples orientated correctly then bolted all together @ 61 ft/lbs.
