No, you can't fix that without finding a better cap that matches the groove=
 in the block. I just mentioned the align hone because of the weird looking=
 bearing wipe on the left side of the cap.

 So are you saying the lack of line honing would cause the bearing offset?=
=C2=A0
=C2=A0Supposedly this block was line honed.

One of the mysteries of a big batch of GT6 parts and cars i picked up some =
years ago was a box of 50+(!) main caps, which i still have.Also got two bl=

 The image shows the rear main cap and bearing on a small journal 1300.
As=C2=A0you can see, there is an offset between the two bearing halves.=C2=

I was attempting to mix and match parts from my parts bin.
I'm curious about the source of the offset.=C2=A0 Is there a difference in =

 to engine when they were manufactured?____________________________________=
