Wow would of been nice to have that 1 b4 I did the install. I finished and it turned out great but I didnt know about the oil pump drive gasket. I bought 1 but I figured it was maybe for a older 3.1 that had a distributor ugh oh well. I dont remember seeing the bolt and bracket that held mine down tho maybe it didnt use it I dunno.

dont worry about that gasket.. as long as you got the push rods back in the same place they came out of,,, and bleed the air out of the system..

You would find that out as soon as you go to start it....usually the hard way. I gaurentee if you mix them up once, you will never mix them up again though....
