Re: main cap bearing grooves
Yes. If you look closely at the caps, all except for the rear cap (for obvious reasons) have an arrow on them. This arrow points toward the front of the engine.
If you put the caps on backwards, the bores will not be in alignment and will take out your crank and all affected bearings in very short order - the failure will occur well before a flat tappet cam achieves a good break in, and very well could occur just cranking the engine over even before it starts.
