I think a rod spun a bearing in my rebuilt 454

Why are the outer main bolts not installed?
If the machine shop left those out then definately get your money and walk away, no excuse for that. Although, it might be fun to hear them try and explain it... Sorry man, that sucks...

Yep I was trying to stay out of this,but I'm wondering if those aren't 4 bolt caps on a factory 2 bolt block that's been line honed,in which case it could kind of make sense.

I would assume that the mains were also checked and the inner bolts were reinstalled to hold the caps in place. I assume.
