Some long bolts with heads cut off for alignment pins will save a lot of cussing and better chance of not messing up a gasket.

Yeah, I'm a step ahead of ya on that. The only issue is that they are 7/16" or 1/2" SAE. I don't have any laying around. I'm planning to swing by the hardware store on my way home and see what they got.

Pick up concrete anchor bolts, they come in 12 to 14" length. They work great because the smooth shoulder is actually undersized making it easy to slide the pumpkin. Two of these pins and a floor jack it what I used to install my 2-speed pumpkin.
