I know this is hard to believe. But this heart shaped cover is on the top
of the case right next to the distributor. I am not sure there is such a
thing for 2.1 engine. I had the engine run for a while without oil pressure.
Only after pouring oil into that hole and restarted the engine the pump
began to pump.
