In addition, all galleries required for dry sump oil system operation are drilled and tapped for pipe. 8620 steel bearing caps are installed on all locations of the blocks. The intermediate main bearing caps have the outer 7/16 in. diameter studs on the inner locations, and 3/8 in. diameter straight bolts on the outer locations. The rear bearing cap is a 2-stud (7/16 in. diameter) configuration and utilizes a 2-piece rear seal design. After the installation of the steel bearing caps, the blocks are align bored.
