Re: Tech(Cam Bearing Caps...Correct order?)

[Eric L Ellis <elf16v@juno.com>]

Except for their numeric order, ignore the numbers and their orientation
on the caps.  As standing at the front of the car, you should see that
the caps have a corner that is at a 45 deg.  That cap should go with the
'chopped' corner to the bottom right...I'm pretty sure.

^Good God that sucks, hope it gets the point across.
