Bushing under rear main cap?

Are you sure the crack is a crack and not a seam?? Almost all dowels like that have a seam.

I'll look at it closer and see. It's captured inside and out, so it would probably be ok to use like it is. I found a replacement though. Early Hemis have the same dowel under the rear main cap. It is definitely factory installed, and I have seen them in other small blocks including 340's and 360's.
