the caps and saddles are always on the same side. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";

machine in Holliston, Mass. This creates two issues that must be addressed,
both due to the slight raising of the crank center line:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";
color:black">1) the clearance space of the top of the pistons needs to be
checked to be sure there is no interference at TDC. Usually not a problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";
color:black">2) more of a problem is that the aluminum insert for the rear main
seal may interfere with the block. This will become apparent when using the
centering tool, and can be addressed by filing down the area of the seal where
it interferes. Do not file or alter any other surface, as this will compromise
the ability of the seal to function and/or to hold correctly one of the
aftermarket rubber seals. Be careful also not to gouge the face of the
aluminum seal where it mates with the flat surface of the block. Go slow and be
careful. It should all work as intended.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
