What is the trick to getting the intermediate shaft in place? Seems like everytime to go install it, I spend 20 minutes slowing turning the oil pump shaft then dropping in the intermediate shaft only to find I am one tooth off one way or the other. It is like the intermediate shaft doesn’t engage the pump until the shaft is already engaged with the cam thus if the hex isn’t lined up it will not fall the rest of the way in.
Drop the pump drive in. Then turn it backwards so it hops up on the cam teeth. Then back in the forward direction. go back and forth like this. It'll skip a few teeth then drop in. If it's still in the wrong position keep at it until it drops where you want it.
