Years ago, I used the wrong oil pump gasket on a MGB engine rebuild- no oil
pressure. The gasket sets have have several applications and so some
gaskets that are intended for other variations of the engine are also in
the sets. You might be able to tell if you used the wrong gasket for the
oil pump by process of elimination if you examine the gaskets you didn't
use, assuming you kept them.
