My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

Yep, I have a word document I created and I follow. I too use zip lock bags and mark accordingly. I place the parts in the back of my Tahoe. During the install I just follow the removal in reverse order. I even have torque values listed out for the install. I'm a bit **** that way - plus at my age I need the assist.

+1 on the zip lock bags. I label then store in order of removal then install in reverse order. Some bags may only have 2 bolts in them. Makes reinstall so much easier.

I always try to take pictures before disassembly. I used to think I'd remember where something went--but I usually forgot lol.

When I started in the shops, an engine swap was way easier. Way less to remember as you reinstalled anything. That was before cells that took pics. I saw how the cell pic could make the remember task way easier.
