Hi Graham. Thanks for replying and thanks for sharing your expert opinion.

Not having seen it assembled and in working order, I may be mistaken about
things, so bear with me.

I'm not sure what you mean by the land for the thrust washer being on the
bearing cap. Don't the thrust washers just go into the slot machined into
the side of the bearing saddle in the block? I looked again and it looks
like if the thrust washers are in place, the crank won't ever contact the
bearing cap. I'm probably wrong, but if that's the case, why repair the
bearing cap at all? Does it prevent the washer from spinning?

Thanks again,
Hugh Fader
