![The rear main bearing is fully installed, though I am temporarily using flat washers. I ran out of the thick wave washers and was waiting on my shipment to arrive. Rather than stop work on the rest of the engine, I fit these knowing that I would replace as soon as the proper washers arrived.](mg_images/engine_rebuild_roy_smith_092.jpg)
