Yeah, as I was working on it it just didn't look right to me, so I
didn't really try very hard to loosen it. The procedure I was looking
at in the Bentley manual showed their being an adjustment in only one
corner, yet each of the corners of the oil pump had the hex thing.

Thanks. This was certainly not clear that this was the case either from
the Bentley or the parts breakdown s that I looked at. I'll try to make
the adjustment next oil change.
