G16A Main Bearing Caps
#5
Thanks for the quick reply.
As I read it, you advise that using the main bearing caps (shells) from a different block is a bad idea.
I wish I had easy access to a machine shop, but I don't (nearest 200 miles).
I think I will just use the caps that I have with the block even though I don't really like the way they look.

Another question: How much do you think having the cylinder head off of the block actually effects the roundness of the cylinders? I am planning to use a fixed hone to hone the cylinders to fit size 2 pistons. All 4 cylinders on the block are bored to size 1 pistons. My concern is that the cylinders are currently out of round about .0005" or a little more (haven't done careful measuring yet). From previous comments I wonder if I hone them to round without using a head plate like machine shops (I don't have) then will that actually cause the cylinders to become out of round when I bolt the head back on?
