As long as you keep the motor horizontal, it's fine.

The first pixture was with pins sheared. I just pit two pins in for the photo, not the proper pins.
There is a collar between gear and coupler that sloded over the clutch shaft

That's funny. It's not where the shear pin goes. It goes in the by the squared off end. That could be why you are shearing pins. ;)

You have a 350 spacer plate on your 520. Could you post a picture of your nameplate.
