rookie mistake

if your gonna rebuild your motor and you need to order the main bearings dont do what i did.
thrust position matters and if you dont know what that means theres 5 bearings and the thrust bearing is the flange looking bearing of the 5
if its on the rear of the block its the 5th position and if its in the middle of the block its tyhe number 3 position. theres a big difference in size. and its a headache to to ship back and reorder. so get it right the first time. looks like another few days of down time.
