I am fortunate to have a photographic memory which comes in handy in these cases. I can tear something apart, leave thw pieces spread out everywhere and still be able to put things back together with no missing pieces. I do make things easier for myself though by keeping assemblies together. For instance, if I take an intake manifold off, I keep the bolts in or near the holes they fit in. Same with other bits that come off in groups. In cases where there are lots of similar pieces that must go in specific places (like lifters and other valvetrain pieces which become mated to their positions, I either label, mark or lay the parts out according to their positions.
If for some reason parts get pulled off and they will remain in limbo for a while or my workspace is crowded, I will put the hardware back into the holes they came from then group the parts together But for quick thrashes like what is picured here, I spread the stuff out in piles all over. trying noot to step on the stuff too much or drag the air hoses through them too much. lol
