[Land-speed] sorry, the link didn't come through on Kirkhams.

Since the main caps are bolted to a block that is all one piece, it seems as
though the whole thing would have needed to be line bored anyway. Wouldn't you
say? My Lotus and Nissan blocks came with similar main caps from the
factories. Seemed pretty nice at the time.

Wes, all... an interesting concept for the main bearing caps.  Ut, what
happens when you spin one bearing in teh middle of that assembly. Seems like
then everything has to be line bored and the faying surfaces redone so that it
all fits together correctly again.   I'd rather have individual caps and a
girdle that can be installed with preload of some kind.

but whadda I know, lol...
