Okay, just one small bitch on the callouts. The driver's side of the block is always the left side and the passenger side is always the right side, top of the block will always be the top, and the bottom of the block will always be the bottom. 6:00 o'clock to me will always be the dead bottom of the cap regardless of where the block is spun on the stand. Turning an engine upside down doesn't change the positions. If someone says that I should check the #4 journal for a ding at 11:00 o'clock I don't have to ask is that counting from the rear of the block or front, or is that with the engine upside down on the stand?

Sorry, carry on...
