Their is only one thing that usually causes thrust bearings to die, that is pressure(forward or rearward thrust )on the crankshaft


Naa,there are other causes as well. I do agree that is a possibility however.At least the crank being pushed forward(never seen a crank sucked back,but I haven't seen everything). Did this block have aftermarket main caps installed?
