Hey everyone I have just been motivated to finish building my engine but after getting everything out I can't remember what the order is supposed to be for the main caps. I've been reading a lot on this forum but I can't seam to find what I'm looking for. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be very helpful.

You can still see how they mount based on those pictures, you look at the direction of the letter, not the letter itself.

ok so i went out and figured out the middle and the one the where the thrust washers are, I also placed the others in the correct direction but how much of a difference will it make if 2 or 3 are in the wrong spots?

I was told they had to go in the same location as they came off. My mechanic had issues with gapping because he didn't note what position they came out.
