Well I finally decided to TIG weld the oil pump. Fortunately I got good weld area penetration and no warping that I can tell.

Good news, I found the washer behind the main drive chain tensioner bracket. So at some time it was put on the wrong side, and fell there. Still wondering where to find the huge rubber orings that go on the filter case cover.... any ideas?
