Please help me identify these 3 parts just above my water pump.

I was replacing my water pump and wanted to see why I couldn't get it back on. Little did I realize that it was because I needed to press the water pipe first.

To better understand what I was doing, I took the long road of removing all of the brackets (and what looks to be a heat shield) along the way.

I'd like to get my torque specs right so I'd like to know the proper name of these parts so I can go look them up.

Thanks for all of your help as usual.

Thanks so far everyone. I'll take more pics of what seems to be a 2g trigger plate. This part faces the exhaust manifold IIRC.

Appreciated.
 
The third part is definitely not a trigger plate. You would've had to take the crank sprocket off to get at that. This is what a trigger plate looks like.

Possibly the factory PS pump heat shield? That is in the same area as those other parts and faces the exhaust manifold.

Yes its a stock power steering heat pump shield.

One is the power steering pump looks to be 1g, next is a motor mount bracket for a 1g as well, third is the heat shield for the power steering pump. It attaches to the bracket with a bolt. All of those are in the same area.

Too funny, since I use that link all the time. Thanks so much for creating it.

:hellyeah:

When confused, I referred to the grade of bolts and bolt length (compared to my dial calipers) to narrow it down.
