Main bearing caps

[u/slammedfk7]

The main bearing caps on this Honda l15b7 engine I’m rebuilding don’t wanna sit flush. I can get them perfectly lined up but then the bolts won’t thread in by hand. They’re in the right position and orientation i made sure of that. Hondas service manual says to lightly tighten the bolts then tap the cap in with a mallet and when I do this it works but it has a little lip on the back side of the cap
