Oil pump came with a copper gasket. I installed studs to hold the pump in place.





Because it is an Indian Adventures block, which has register mounted main caps, as opposed to dowel pinned caps, The oil pan rail is lower than a factory block. This causes a mismatch at the timing cover.





So I installed a factory timing cover part of the oil pan gasket. This pretty much leveled it out for the one piece oil pan gasket to have any hope at all of sealing.
