Scored Main Cap Bearing - Ouch

I do not see how the flywheel bolts and flywheel were not too long on a previous crank and block? washers before and not this time. I think all factory bolts and crank flange thickness and flywheels are the same. I have manual 340s since 1978, never needed to drill from cam feed to thrusts. I do use a 3/4 groove #3 bearing


I talked to him on the phone and he wasn’t sure if there were washers or Star washers under the head before. Hey strange stuff happens to all of us. At least he isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and figured it out.
