Default Oil Pump not working?

Hello, replaced both cam chain tensioners on my 2005 HD Road King Custom but when I put it all back together my oil pump is not working?

Any Idea why? Should there be an O ring behind the oil pump around the crank shaft?

Appreciate any suggestions? thx

J&P cycles has a video of this procedure. I'd suggest watching that if a service manual is not available. Also check youtube.

Yea, there is a large O-ring behind the pump. But are you absolutely sure you put the pump back in exactly the same way it came out? You didn't by any chance place one of the spacers on the outside of the smaller feed gerotor?

Well I took everything a part and followed the manual. Put it all back together and still no oil? Should I change the oil pump?
