Thanks for the tips and compliments guys. I have to decide if I should pull things apart right now for inspection, or order parts now and take it apart after the parts arrive. I could really use the lift to get some other things done in the meantime.

Dell, you have me worried about the plug with the hole. I never noticed any difference between the four plugs. They all looked a bit crude in the way they were made, not something that would have a precise hole in it to lube the chain. If I had one with a hole, it's obviously not at the back of the engine, or it would be pouring out between the engine and trans. Not sure what would happen if it's in the wrong spot in the front.

I'll also take a look at those pedals. I wasn't sure which way they went.

I do know that the gasket for the oil pump cover was on the thick side. I'll have to take that apart too, make some measurements of the clearances, then cut out a new gasket.

Here are close-ups of the front seal and cover. everything looks 100% in the photos. In the second pic, the seal looks like it's perfectly positioned against the cover and nicely centered.

Jeff
