I just purchased a used short block assembly (500ci MP crate engine) that had damaged the thrust bearing. The crank looks to be worn down on the rear of the thrust surface. (a new thrust bearing fits nice in the saddle, but still a lot of end play) I can measure it when I get the engine disassembled, but the crank looks worn there. I suspect the drive shaft was too long. Is this something that can be repaired, or is it junk? It is a 4.15 stroke crank, most likely a $1000 part if bought now. I bought this for the block (Mega block), but might use this rotating assembly if it can be repaired.
Thanks, Brian
