Engine Main Cap installed backwards... what do I do?
I need some advice on my engine. I had a guy build my motor and he installed the rear main cap on backwards. So i pulled the cap to turn it around and it looks like there is some wear on the bearing. Could anyone tell me if this will be ok or do i need to put in new bearings.

The block was bored and honed. New cam bearings installed. I bought all the parts and had him install them. Stock crank, king bearings, scat rods, D.S.S Pistons and total seal rings.

If it was align bored with the cap backwards<very hard to believe anyone could be that stupid> then you need to start over. If you pull everything back apart you will be able to put the caps in alone and look if they line up.

There was still money exchanged (I assume). You don't reward incompetence by fixing the problem yourself. If there is doubt in his ability then the whole motor should be taken apart and checked for clearances, correct bearing orientation and such.

I will not be taking it back to this guy again. I will fix it myself! Not rewarding his incompetence just learning from this and moving forward with the build.
