Hey im replacing my main bearings, and the new bearings come with 6 top bearings (with groove and oil hole) and 4 lower (flat) bearings. Does anyone know on which lower cap do you place the upper bearing on? Im assuming the middle cap with the thrust washers but im not sure.

I checked and the parts dealer said all new bearing kits come with 6 uppers, but he was not sure where it went

Any help would be appreciated.

Actually I just contacted clevite and they told me to put it in the fourth. They said that VW made the recommendation for them to make the change on the fourth because it was wearing out.
