    I have my motor out of the boat and the pan off and dont know where to look to see if I have the needed Main restrictors? Where do I look? Do I need to take a main cap off or somethin? please advise. If it is under a main cap can you also tell me what to tourque the main cap to on reinstall. I dont have a book.
    Thanks,
    Casey

    Pull your crank and then look in the center oiling holes. 455 main caps are torqued to 120#.

    Yes. MAIN restrictors are pressed into the main oiling holes in the block.

    exactly to much work to check if they already there or not. I have ARP rod bolts,12 Quart Dooley pan,looks to be balanced,pushrods might be the Mondello restricted ones (im not sure) so Im hoping restrictors in there. I have had it wide open numerous times for more then 3 min and nothin blew.No bearing shavings in pan. Ill just cross my fingers then I guess.
