Get a set of splayed 4 bolt main caps and your done. It would be awesome if you could get a 4 bolt cap for the front main bearing cap.
splayed caps are a no-no for a production block. No meat there.

Can a non splayed 4 bolt cap be used? Wouldn't it be a good idea to have the block align honed and have the entire assembly balanced? One thing that I've never seen on here is having the crankshaft checked for being straight, maybe because that's second nature to you guys. I read earlier on this post about using aluminium main caps? I don't think that is a good idea.splayed caps are a no-no for a production block. No meat there.
Why not on aluminum caps? They act as a cushion if you run into detonation problems. Same thing with aluminum rodsCan a non splayed 4 bolt cap be used?

Learned something new. Wouldn't aluminium caps have to be changed out more oftenWhy not on aluminum caps? They act as a cushion if you run into detonation problems. Same thing with aluminum rods

For 90% of the guys using a stock block for a build neither of these are necessary. Money that could be spent towards lighter parts or maybe ice cream.
