ok so i spun a main bearing on my gen V 502.... i REALLY need 2 main caps so I can try and save my block. We have tried a few and they wont work, so i need MORE main caps to try and make work to save my engine. If anyone can help it would be awesome. Just let me know how much you want for the caps? AND if the caps dont work I will ship them back at my cost. Please help. Thanks

Here's a couple of places that make them for custom registering.

Is the damage to the original caps way beyond the scope of aline boring or honing I assume it is extensive. Get 5 new caps and bolts and aline hone the block to factory spec. tolerances. good luck

GM also has new caps for a very reasonable price. They are unfinished and will require line boring. A good machine shop should be able to align bore and hone the block for you without moving the crank up more than a few thousanths. Unless of course the spun bearing did more damage than that.

The caps and block are matched by align boring. You won't find a cap that will just bolt up and fit like the others. Any new cap will have to be align bored/honed to match the block.
