We're not talking obscure parts interchangeability issues, this is fundamental machine parts assembly and plain common sense.

We all have Smartphones these days and accepted methods of disassembly and reassembly (even if generalized) are right in the palm of your hand. Google "How do you seat a main bearing cap on a Pontiac V8?" and here is what you get:

"Seat the main bearing caps by carefully aligning, lightly tapping, and snugging them before torqueing in sequence, ensuring proper clearance and thrust bearing endplay."

Before Smartphones, you bought a Chilton's Manual to consult.
