"If you read instead of talking like you know something ...you would see what caps fit what blocks..."
I was trying to save the guy from buying some caps only to find out that the spacing (splayed bolt hole centerline) and/or the angle (degree) of the splayed bolt were different. Was probably fresh in my mind since I just went thru this. A customer brings in his 4.3 turbo engine and has detonated it so bad it bent the center 2 steel splayed caps. Drawn up from the heat and no longer fit the registers, about .012 loose. Ended up the cap manufacturer had gone out of business, and nobody else makes them with that spacing and that angle. I have no idea why that offended you, or caused you to take a shot at me.
