Scored Main Cap Bearing - Ouch

View attachment 1715484921

Got this from Moparts.

A press-in plug goes into this oil passage at the rear of the block. The plug is about 21⁄8 to 25⁄16 inches up from the bottom of the block (without the cap) and 71⁄2 to 711⁄16 inches down from the china wall. The plug forces oil from the oil pump to the oil fi lter and then to the main oil galley.

(2 and one eighth to 2 and 5 sixteenths from the cap mounting surface)

The picture is wrong where he's sticking the tool to measure ! that is the oil pump drive shaft. I don't think you can measure it with the cap on, I have to go out and look.
