NOTE: The back plate on the pump seats against the
bottom of the bore in the cylinder block. When the lubri-
cating oil pump is correctly installed, the flange on the
lubricating oil pump will not touch the cylinder block.
NOTE: Be sure the gear backlash is correct if installing a
new lubricating oil pump.
Measure the gear backlash.
