need main cap help - please!
As I mentioned in other posts, I'm building my first engine, a 331 or 347 stroker. I got a used 302 block, bores barely worn. In any case, the main caps don't seem to line up properly. They are in correct order, 1,2,3,4 and then the rear cap, all with the arrows pointing forward. #1,2, and 4 caps, aren't centered, in line, with the block portion. The wear marks from under the bearings don't match up. The #3 cap, and rear cap do line up.In some cases, it's off by like 1/32 or 1/64 inch, approx. Is this ok? The guy I bought the block from is a good friend, and says that these are the exact caps that came off this block. See pics. Any help is appreciated. Also, all pics are without bearings. thanks guys!
