they only go on one way,....look close at the pieces,one big o-ring and sleeve,and one smaller o-ring and sleeve,the o-rings go on first,then insert the sleeves,they go on bevelled side out,make sure the cross-over lines are clipped into the end of the cross-over tube properly.good luck.

OH BOY....just completed this the other day.(Install a Zo6 pump)WHAT A BIT*H. Obviously you know once all seals and o-rings are on correctly you must connect the two small black crossover tubes before closing and sealing the metal crossover.I did this with the complete drivtrain intact ..it's tough and I made a custom bar to hold pressure on the metal tube upon reinstallation (reinstalling is much harder than removing) Be carefull it's easy to damage the seals and o-rings .I have a complete new G.M. kit if you need it,and might have the diagram at the shop. P.M. me if you need the diagram tomorrow morning.
