where do they go? what do they do? etc.
You have lost your crankshaft thrust washers. They are found on the sides of the #3 main bearing cap and when this happens, the crankshaft will move forward when the clutch is depressed and contact the webbing of the block. In almost all cases, the block is waisted due to the machined area that holds the thrust bearings being worn away.
