I can't say what the end play was after it was built, but 3/16" was where it ended up. In the picture you can see a groove in the crank thrust face that should not be there. The bearing has metal galled up on the inside radius and the surface is way gone.
I have another crank. The machinist said to bring it over with the other parts of the rotating assembly for a balance job. Also said the block would need cleaning to get the bearing material out.
While I’m at it, I’m going to swap out the automatic trans and put in a 4sp.

My computer took a dump over the holidays so I'm a little slow getting back sometimes.
