Don"t touch that bolt

[bwaii64]

I was searching for timing procedures for the oil pump gear to get the slot in the right place so distributor would line up. THEN I realized it doesn't matter where the slot is because the distributor cam is loose and you can put it where ever you need. (where's the smiley face with a palm smacking the forehead???)

BUT

In the process, I read you should not touch the bolt that I thought held the oil pump in place. Is that bolt with a jam nut in the block near the oil pump not to hold the pump in place?
