Complete FELPRO sets...

..come with the little blue plastic "dowels" for alignment causing a very easy fit to the block. HOWEVER...this is not your case so here's a trick I learned many moons ago that may help you. Set a small amount of sealer around the pan and put the gasket in place. THEN...take some thread and "tie" the gasket to each bolt hole....put 4 studs in block to align pan...raise pan...secure pan and tighten. Forget about the thread removal....its so small, it doesn't interfere with sealing qualities... After all is finished, call whoever sold that incomplete FELPRO set and raise *$&^%*&%$^#!! If all else fails, let me know as I suspect I've got a couple of sets of "blue alignment dowels" from previous installations that I can send to you if time is not critical.

Hope this helps!!
