  Barbara,
          The method I learned from Jamie Marks (appropriate last name) =
before he moved away from here to manage the Mason plant has worked real =
well for keeping the pin off the plate.
                  From a standard center-punch set, I pick the punch =
that just barely flops around in the hole. I insert from  a slight angle =
like the 5 degrees (+/-) of the pin in the block, and pull the punch =
towards the front as I tap it for the mark. This actually puts the =
dimple just a hair off center, and combined with the bore angle, the =
pins usually don't bind at tension.
          At the plant, we get about 80-100 blocks out of one 9 dollar =
set of punches. Your mileage may vary.

  Have fun,
