while dis assembling my chevy 350 i spaced paying attention to what order the main caps came off and i was hopeing you guys could help me i got a few numbers from them there 115, 116, 123, and 116. i dont know if those are numbers you can do anything with there are more but they looked the same through out the whole set. thank you
nope on # .but they are like thumb prints as there not allways the same. tap them on TQ caps bolts up. now feel how they are at parting lines cap to block there should be no hook or over lap keep moving them till they all feel good . alot of times you can match line hone machine marks or line bore marks on the line bore finsh when you get this close check with dial bore gauge to housing bore size. then stamp with number stamp set or punch them so they can not get mixup
Pats got it, he's on the job.
Thanks Pat
so I assume this is a 2 bolt block??? Of course, you have probable already identified the rear cap---
If you take a magnifying glass you may be able to pict up marks for 1,2,3,4 on the caps but if they are there they will probably be very lightly stamped---other than that its the switeroo method, try, tighten, feel with finger, measure with dial bore guage--
Of course you can take it to a shop for alighn hone and let them figure it out
