Thread: I broke a main cap. Please advise

Tweet

A good machinist using good equipment can set up on your block and machine a replacement cap from another block after the cap has had some material removed from the mounting face. Takes a good machinist to do this though, and again, good equipment. You may get lucky mixing and matching, but I would take the machinist route if I intended to keep the engine for any length of time. All is not lost.
