Now I know why 904 was having issues

Beast, oh hell no! I wasn't planning on using locktite of any color on the plugs! Was just wondering if that was what the PO had done to the extension bolts. I've got quite the assortment of sealant options at my disposal. Not averse to spending a few bucks if there's something better. My on hand options are; a veritable rainbow of the Permatex gasket\sealant products, Edelbrock Gasgacinch, real pipe dope, teflon and my personal fav, Aviation Form-A-Gasket Sealant Liquid. Just don't want to put anything in there that might affect something in a bad way.

Yup, managing the case during reassembly was puzzling me and after a couple beers, I came up with this. I can easily adjust the height to wherever is optimum and with all four corners held, it doesn't move much at all. Anybody see any issues with this before I proceed?

The aviation form a gasket is perfect for the plugs and seals both.
Output seal AND pump seal.
Just wipe some on the surface with the brush and pop the seals in. (Or on the outside of the seals if you must) :D
That stuff wont come loose in the trans either.
