Pinned Main Caps

I need pictures of pinned caps on a LS block. I'm more so curious on the process it takes to locate the pin in the cap to align it with the pin in the block. So if you have Pics please post them up.

Thanks
James

6 bolts dont mean anything when building big power or very high RPMS it will move the caps all around with out them being pined. Just pin in the middle of the studs but its a big thing to pin not some thing to do at home.

I was mainly wanting some pics for my local machinest since he had never pinned a LS based engine. But I think I've decided to just anti up and go to ERL for a sleeved shortblock.

Shooting for a 1000rwhp+ setup and pinning the mains is def recommended.
