I have a 5.7 aluminum block I plan to build for a air boat.

I took it to the machine shop and checking the line bore he found it out 2 thousands left to right.

What do I need to do about this?

Thanks for any help

Didn't the machine shop offer any advice?

No he has not worked with the ls1 block.
The bearing caps are different so he was unsure how to correct the left to right as the caps go down into the block.

First off, take it somewhere that has delt with ls engines before.

2nd. Make sure the shop has the main caps pointing the right direction.

No he has not worked with the ls1 block.

That's like going to a veterinarian and asking about a tooth ache...
