My screw up was not noticed until the engine was installed and ran. A very bad rear main oil leak led me to find I had installed the wrong cap. Yes it was plasti guaged. I had 3 engines torn down looking for the best block. Just used the wrong rear main for assembly. Not wanting to pull the engine to change the bolts has me searching for an easy way out. Probably not one but I figured it won't hurt to ask.
