I have never had a block line bored, so I'm flying kinda blind here. Those of you with more machine shop experience, please weigh in. If this could fix 51cowboy's problem. I'll gladly donate a #2 bearing cap.

You just take a few thou off the mounting surface of the cap, torque it in place, and then bore it.
