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!
