Thrust bearing cap offset

They should.

Sometimes, depending on core shift and other things (like how accurately the bolt holes are drilled and if they are drilled perpendicular) you may have to oversize the holes in the main caps or just run an end mill down the hole and offset the hole so the cap can go to where it belongs.


I know guys do it but I never install main studs without a line hone.

You need to either over size the holes or offset them. Either way but .018 off may as well be 10 miles.
