Splayed Main Cap Question Doing a little research for the 383 and I want to splay the main caps but it is my understanding that aftermarket caps come a little undersized and need to be installed then align bored. I read somewhere that the align bore process can cause slack in the timing chain? Is this due to improper machining which bored into the block as opposed to primarily machining the caps? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
