AAZ crank bearings quick question

[simonfredette]

I just noticed that the bearing kit I received comes with 4 flat bearings and 6 bearings with an oil channel, is this intended and if so which bearing cap gets a channelled bearing on top and bottom? Also, does anyone have a picture of the proper orientation of the thrust washers under #3, dont want to mess that up either. Thanks guys

From a parts supply house:
"WARNING! Volkswagen OE design modification. Set contains (1) lower bearing shell which is grooved and WITHOUT OIL HOLE. Install in # 4 CAP position only!"
