Not exactly. IF you are rebuilding the engine, and you have it ALIGNED
bored with the exchanged cap then yes. If however you are just taking one
out of one engine and slapping it in another then NO. These are
matched/machined as an assy (the reason they are numbered) and as such can
not just be swapped around-
