so i got my rebuild kit in and put new mains and thrusts in and slapped in the crank shaft in. now that i am looking at the old mains i realize that there is one set of mains that are bigger (wider) than the other sets. i guess i was not paying attention or something, but i imagine that its pretty important that i pull the crank back out and figure out where these ones go. anyone know where they go?

Better to double check and see you did it the right way then to not double check and have them be wrong.
I did the same thing with my piston rings when i did my 1st rebuild.
