cause for thrust bearing failure? 440 - 06/04/13 11:55 AM
so we are getting the crank fixed right now the thrust bearing failed big time! i have never even heard this engine run but it seems to have been put together ok. i am having the block tanked to get all the oil passages cleaned out then new bearings throughout. we will give it a hone and a fresh set of rings while we are at it. it only had 4000 miles when it lost the thrust bearing. the converter looks fine but i am worried about the trans i don't know much about it and i am concerned it may have had something to do with the bearing issue.what could be some of the possible causes and what can i look for? thanks guy's
