Re: Missing main caps a big problem?
If you give the blocks a very thorough inspection (especially in the valve transfer area) and they appear to be good, then it is really not a big deal putting new main caps on one - it is just a bit of money.
It will cost you roughly $250 - $350 to install a different set of caps and have the block align bored and honed. If the block is good, then I think it is worth it. Hell, in many of my performance builds, I have the blocks align bored anyway (but that is because I'm changing the main caps).
