This is the conversation I had this morning:
I'll follow up with Kent tomorrow.
I went to my shop, I asked if they could grab the end cap I had brought in. With it on the counter, I asked, which way is it "too short" and i displayed length, width and height with my hands.
His response was the distance from the outer edge to the lip of the crescent shaped channel was too short..... and of course, the other side was too long.
What he was explaining was the cap was not centered to the same axis as the block. He explained that every cap would be offcenter as they were matched to another block.
I don't think they're really comfortable with Mopar so I told them I would take the block elsewhere and just bring them GM in the future.
If I'm correct, isn't the correct way to fix this is to weld thecrank journal and rebore it?
