The back of the rear main bearing block and cap is to be counter bored .125 deep and 2.250 diameter.
The rear thrust washers are held in place by counter bore and crankshaft. The block thrust washer is to be doweled to the block to prevent rotating. Thrust washers are not to be attached or secured as this can cause end loading and abnormal wear.

The front of the rear main bearing block only is counter bored .125 deep and 2.250 diameter.
The front thrust washer is held in place by counter bore and crankshaft. The cap not counter bored will prevent the thrust washer from rotating. Again the thrust washer is not secured to the block.
