My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block
So my rear main seal is done. That was easy, and I'm pretty confident that it will not leak.
I came across a couple minor issues while putting on my oil pump. The first thing I over looked was that it was machined on the bottom of pump housing to clear the ARP main cap bolt.
No big deal, I had my local machine shop do the same thing to the new pump.

You may be looking at the wrong instructions. I believe this 5002 is a 12-sided bolt head. Where as the 5001 is a six-sided bolt head which is torque to only 100 pounds. While a stud and nut is torqued to 110 lb.
