Do you have to use the factory type main bolt (the one with a stud on the end) to hold the oil pump pick up tube? If you use a regular main bolt do you just let the oil pump pick up be held in place by the oil pump?

It will work, just make sure there isn't much difference in the install location.

On a side note, roll the edge of the pickup while you have it out. It helps only fractionally, but since you have it out...why not?
