My hubby takes pics with his cell phone at each stage of the disassembly (If it is complicated or a first time disassembly), then puts the screws/bolts in little Tupperware or baggies. Each piece you take off should have the containers of fasteners that held it on sitting on top of it when you are done. In addition, there is almost always a document online with a schematic/assembly/repair instructions with diagrams these days if you get lost. This can be especially useful if you are not the first person to work on that particular engine, and you suspect whoever went before you substituted whatever screw/bolt They had on hand when they lost one (which thing is not like the others?).
