I have run everything From 3 to 7 to 15 to 22..on a Max effort small-block.. I also had a 408 that somehow Wore into almost 30... no magic in the thrust.. I would say usually anywhere between 4 and 12 would be acceptable.. when the motor is running basically you have zero thrust on the back side..

Here's something I never understood about end play - What are you really supposed to do if you're not in spec? Buy another crank or block? The spec is a fairly narrow window for something you really don't have the ability to adjust. You would think that they would make thrust bearings available +/- .005 or .010.
How hard are you really supposed to pry the crank? If you pry enough it seems like they all have more than .010...

Was this from being to tight? I've lost thrust bearings over the years (who hasn't) and when they are too tight they smear. That bearing looks like it flaked off. Is it a clevite bearing?
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
