The push rods have to be in the right place because you would be able to start it, there seems to be difference of opinion here, some are saying that's right and that's the sound of a briggs and stratton, some are saying there is no knoking, and others are saying its knoking.

Hmm... I don't remember how many. I just know I put them all back.

Are you talking about the cover for the oil pump?

Yes the oil pump cover you have to align it up with the cam
In order for it to work and pump oil. Making sure you have it installed correctly.

I used Taryl's video to do the camshaft and timing gear replacement. He just said those two interlocking pieces in the oil pump will only fit in one way and you can't mess it up. It looked like it all fit in there nicely. I don't know other than that.
