abbreviated values are:

First Digit (camshaft location)

L = Left Hand
R = Right Hand

Second Digit (intake or exhaust)

I = Intake
E = Exhaust

Third Digit (cap number)
1, 2, or 3

CAUTION:

When installing the bearing caps, turn the crankshaft to place a piston in the middle of the block because interference between valves and
pistons can occur.
