Put the thrust bearing cap where it belongs, ignore the numbers on caps 3 and 4, and line hone it to be safe. It might not need the line hone, but if you have a competent machinist, i would.
An INcompetent machinist can just make it worse.
Btw, it could not have been assembled and ran with the caps in the numbered positions.
That’s right. All those years ago u did t pay attention taking it apart. Then when u assembled it u were probably thinking this can’t be right but hey the numbers say so. Kim
