Yes to all, i will start from the beginning, new top end on the bike pistons, valves etc. Put it back together and it ran but was not taking oil from the bag, pulled the oil pump to find it was locked up and cracked, ordere a new pump took the case off to see if the gears were messed up, everything was fine, when i pulled the cover a gear fell out so i re alligned all the gears on there timing marks installed new oil pump, adjusted push rods put all the ignition stuff back on and thats where im at, no running at all |

Well then I'm confused. 1st you say you didn't remove the pickup plate, and now you say you did remove the pickup plate. " 5 install the inner plate....". You had to remove it in order to install it.
