Greetings,

Tring to install oil pump on the crankshaft per instruction on Alldata website.

I'm having trouble getting it fully seated.
I'm guessing I'm not aligning the rotor flats to the crankshaft flats.

Could someone help me identify the rotor flats on the pump? Or send me an image of how it's aligned?

Thank you for your time!

Can you upload an image of the problem? There are alignment marks for the pump and an access hole to help line the pump up. Here are the instructions but without an image of what the problem is it is difficult to help. Please go over these instructions carefully. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
