I hope the picture shows up.

So big learning process with this engine. I turn the oil pump and oil comes pouring out of a hole where the distributor goes in. I plug it with a slit piece of heater hose and a socket pushing it against the outside and proceed to turn the oil pump. Oil comes out all the pushrods on the left side but not the right side. I remove the hose and socket through which I was turning the oil pump and realize that for the oil to get to the right bank it has to go around a groove in the distributor housing. I guess the right side can wait till start up to get its oil.

In the picture is my cam bearing tool. A friend faced and drilled a couple of cam journals for me. One of the 2" washers was ground off a bit for it to be able to be drawn through. I haven't used this tool yet but it will be ready for a next time.

Can anybody identify what the two types of gaskets are used for?
