hey guys, im new to the site so if I made a mistake with where to post or how to post I apologize. im currently building my 98 gst and my main bearing holes will not line up with the oil holes on the block. I don't know what is goin on, this is the 3rd set I ordered thinking maybe they sent the wrong ones or something and now a 3rd failed attempt. any input is appreciated

I wont be able to get a pic of the girdle because the engine is at my job and im off this weekend. But my main girdle has all plain faced bearings in them. And i have a thrust washer set up, two thrust washers on the side of the main cap on the block side.
 
Just curious if you still have the old bearings for comparison?
Some 4g63 block had the oil holes slightly off set from others, all you can do is file the holes in the bearings to fit....Compare your old bearings to some one elses and you will see yours are different.

I should add this happens all the time on Chevs and Fords too, good eye.
