Now to the other problem. Any suggestions about a slide hammer to remove that stubborn timing chain guide pin? I've got a 6 mm by 50mm bolt but I think I may need a much longer bolt.

Don't forget the right emoticon. You need a

or similar for that one.
I have always had success easing the pin out with a stack of washers to provide leverage for the bolt to pull against. It sounds like you already removed the timing cover - maybe you can temporarily reinstall so the washer can push against that instead of the chain guide.
