I planned on installing them, but now there is no odd bolt for the oil pickup tube filter that attaches to the bearing bolt. How do I put the oil pick up tube in with the new arp rod/bearing bolts? Also, the Haynes manual doesn't clearly state any gasket between the oil pump case and front case. Is there one there? I don't remember seeing one when I disassembled the engine. (4G63-specific)
 
The pickup just goes on the stud if the same spot it would normally go. Yes, there is a gasket for the oil pump/front cover.
 
I would imagine it would go in the same spot as the original. It's just that the OEM (stock) bearing bolt that was used to hold to the oil pick-up tube was a different shape to accomidate the pickup tube. Am I just suppose to ignore that and use the same nut to hold down the pickup tube and the y-bearing?
