Topline Front Cover Gears.

I bought a topline front cover for my engine rebuild and was wondering do all of these covers have slant cut gears? Reason I ask is because I was wanting to bolt my stub shaft up to the oil gears and I can't because my stub shaft is straight cut and these gears are slant. I guess I will just buy new gears and a new stub shaft from Mitsu anyways... Just wanted to know if any of you all ran into this same thing.

Well thanks for the replies... (sarcasm) I figured out what the problem was. The topline covers come with diagonally cut oil pump gears. The gear I had bolted to my stub shaft from my previous Mitsu cover had a straight cut gear. Well I wasn't thinking and thought the stub shaft came with the gear bolted to it... So I woke up today and realized that I needed to unbolt the gear from the previous cover and bolt the gear up from the new cover.

The straight cuts gears were stock on up to some 92's. There is a TBS on oil pump noise that recommended replacing them with the news style gears like you got with your new oil pump.
