The oil hole in the bearings need to be 180 off from the oil holes in the block so as to block off the oil. The front shaft has the only 2 bearings that need to be done. The rear shaft oils through the shaft itself.

^^ what he said.

The cap plug is for blocking off the Hole in the front cover.

Why must the oiling holes be blocked? Wont the oil just spray around then down into the pan again?

Thats like tossing away extra free oil pressure that could be used else where. Block off the passages and enjoy a small bump in oil pressure.

If you don't block those passages, you'll just have zero oil pressure at idle and very low pressure when the engine's at speed. You'll also toast the rod bearings on the cylinder closest to the crank pulley (#1 cyl?) in less than 500 miles.
