Guide pins For block to trans alignment

Just had my LS1 Rebuilt and picked up a 4L60e

Was going to bolt the two togeather, but there are no guide pins...

I just picked up a set of guide pins from the dealership.

Question is, can I tap these pins into the block? or will I have to have them pressed in? Seems like tapping them in could be a little dangerous on the aluminum block, but I figured I could save alot of time and effort if I could just tap them in. Thanks

Just lightly hit them in. Don't use a sledgehammer or anything like that.
