Thanks to all those who responded, I really appreciate the feedback.
What should be done with the main bearing caps? do they need to be replaced with aftermarket steel caps or would a center main cap support be sufficient for an under 5800 rpm engine? Would that also be dependent on the weight of the rotating assembly; i.e., bore & stroke?
