Assembling my engine. I noticed that the cam thrust bearing as a smaller tang. My case does not have the notch.

Since this is a smaller tang, designed a bit different. I am I supposed to tap it in place and let the action of bolting up the case crush it in place?

I built a 1911 about 7 years ago, and I do not remember having issues like this. I am pretty sure I bought all my innards from Type4 store back then too.

Tang is to prevent rotation of the bearing,there must be notch in the other case half otherwise that's the strangest case I have seen.

Close but no cigar. Even if it did fit, the last bearing has a tang and the saddle has no notch.

Fuzzy pic but i tried to install the thrust bearing in the right half and the tang and the notch don’t line up.
