G16A Main Bearing Caps
#1
I have 3 G16A blocks, 2 are cracked, 1 looks like I can rebuild it. Problem is that the main bearing caps do not look good on that one. They have many little hair-line cracks in them.

Question: Is it advisable to use a good looking bearing cap from one of my bad blocks if it is the same size letter?

For example, if the bad one is #5, size "C" and one of my bad blocks has a size "C", but it is cap #4 then is it advisable to replace the #5 cap with the better looking #4 cap from the cracked block?

Does that make sense? The letters represent size ranges for the bore diameter. So, I am wondering if anyone else has tried this and how it worked. I am concerned that even though the Cap size letter matches the block it might still be a little out of round and effect my bearing to crankshaft journal clearance.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can spare.
