rebuilding my fe i have a questiion
Hi i just recently decided to rebuild my 390 for my 54 merc thats been on the back burner for a while.
well i had the engine apart for years now cause at one point i thought i was gunna abandon the 390 and put a sbc. so now i decided to dig around for this stuff and i found my main caps are all out of order.
my question is what do i do about it? if the crank is cut and i get new bearings does it matter? or do i have to bolt em on and send it to a machine shop and get them bored? i dunno
thanks

The caps are numbered and have an arrow pointing to the front.

Usually there are marks from cap movement on the cap face and the block - try to match them up. Install them and see if you can feel a "step" or "edge" at the parting line
