You do rotaries for a living? Sounds like fun. Of course what's always fun as a side job sucks to do everyday.

I put a full long block and 5-speed transmission (pointed straight up in the air) on those three studs.

I used the trans as my clutch alignment tool.

Did you actually use those studs or did you buy bolts? -If so, what size/length/pitch?
