I took the oil pump off for cleaning and one gear fell out. How do they go back together with the two circles together?

Hi,

It has been a long time since I had one apart. I believe what you are referring to is correct. There should be two marks that align.

Could you take a couple of pics of the gears so I can see them? Whenever I did this in the past, I would always mark the gears so I could get them back together in the same position. In this case, I want to be sure.

Let me know.
