I do not know if the oil pump plate was aftermarket or not, but the stub shaft definatly was and did not have the oiling grove in it which is an epic fail in my book cause there is 2 holes in that bearing which means that oil is supposed to flow somewhere, which it isn't going to with out a oil grove on the shaft. just my $.10

Are you referring to the oil pan gasket?
