Some one did this to my engine.  It looks like they
milled down the mains slightly, drilled two holes,
inserted pins into the holes. Then put holes in the
same location on the thrust washers.  So now they have
no chance of falling out into the pan.  

Who does this sort of work on the engines?  Seems like
a very good idea.
