Thrust bearing cap offset

Well I’m starting to agree!!! I guess in my mind and in a perfect world I’d prefer for the block to take the forward thrust load of the crank and in this case it’s not. When I get a chance I’ll test for the cap with bolts just to see if it can be aligned correctly per the factory, I know it was line bored with the studs installed however one thing I noticed is that with the studs installed they do bind slightly on the cap so possibly opening up the cap holes to take side load off the studs will also help with end float somew
