Note: CNC or computer numerical controlled machining is an automated machining process that guarantees exact tolerances. No one offers as many CNC-machined blocks as GM Performance Parts! No one. Splayed main caps have additional material holding the crankshaft in the block. This makes it even more unlikely that you’ll throw the crank through the oil pan.
