Your main caps are supposed to have a press fit. If you change caps you will need to have the block align bored...

What Adam said....also, when installing main caps on a SBF, you need to lightly tap them with a hammer to get them to seat in the register in the block.

This site might help, should be videos up in the next couple weeks:
