You should install the oil pump, thread the J 44219 into the engine block to aid in the alignment of the cover, next apply a 3 mm (0.12 in) bead of sealer to the engine front cover, align the oil pump to the crankshaft sprocket splines, then position the engine front cover over the J 44219, and to the engine block, then install the engine front cover bolts, the 2 remaining engine front cover bolts, the oil pump pipe and screen assembly, and install the power steering pump, the drive belt tensioner, the crankshaft balancer, and the water pump.
