The oil pump drive gear goes in, the o-ring is installed, then there is a shim/washer that is installed. Install the Crank key, and timing belt drive gear.

Sounds like you will do a great job. If you want yellow-zinc, there is a yellow zinc plater in Sunnyvale CA called 4D Metal Finishing. He turns things around in about 48 hours and has never charged me more than his minimum of $65 no matter how much stuff I drag in there. If you overnight parts to him on Monday, I bet you'd have them back on Friday. I'm just say'n....
Or...the CopyCad system from Caswell now comes with a yellow zinc system for the DIYer.

Thanks for clarifying about the front seal. I like shiny parts! I would like to rebuild my engine with 214k miles, but would really like to buy a used engine and rebuild it and then swap out engine.

I might be a little worried about that stainless drain line after it has been zinc coated.It might spring a leak since the inner line is teflon or rubber.Just an FYI.
