Haven't gotten to the center custom cap yet and think that there is no reason now, to disturb it as all looks excellent. The old man put center bearing thrusts in. He did very nice work, IMO.

Question:
They now make/sell those asbestos/copper washers/fillers that go between the nuts and block, to prevent oil leaks. Have any of you used these(one time use) and do you recommend their usage ? Or is that a waste of $/time
No I never have used them. I always put a chamfer on the bolt hole in the block, then put a dab of rtv there to keep the oil from creeping up the bolt.
