7. Install oil pump drive spacer as follows:
a. Insert oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of crank- shaft key and the two flat surfaces of oil pump inner rotor.

If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion,
rotate oil pump inner rotor with a finger to allow spacer.
b. After confirming that the position of each part is in correct condi- tion to allow for spacer, force fit spacer by lightly tapping with
plastic hammer until it contacts and does not go further.
8. Install front oil seal on front cover.

Apply new engine oil to both oil seal lip and dust seal lip.

Install it so that each seal lip is oriented as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch or make burrs on circumference
of oil seal.

Using front oil seal drift (commercial service tool), press fit
until the height of front oil seal is level with the mounting sur-
face.

Make sure the garter spring is in position and seal lips not
inverted.
9. Install chain tensioner cover to front cover.
