Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
Thanks for the response guys.
Got a lot of things to check out in the off season. At least my kid won some cash in the Bracket car last night to pay for repairs on the Stocker. LOL |

Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
Devo,
Is this a new engine or has it run before without hurting the thrust bearing ? The reason I ask is I had a problem with a thrust bearing in a 350 Chevy years ago. The block had been align honed and when they cut the cap they cut it crooked and it was tilting the thrust bearing just slightly. Took me a while to figure it out. Did something change in your combination right before your thrust problem started ? Just thinking out loud

Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
Are both the dowel pins that align the bellhousing still in the block . Sounds like something didn't go back together the same after the trans repair .

Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
Could it be a balance issue after fixing the crank? I'll be running a 340 for the first time and I'm all ears on these small engines.

Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
Except for the 1973 cast crank 340. It has a special balancer on the front, but probably could be internally balanced with lighter rods and pistons (that part should be easy with the stock 340 slugs). All the rod journals are the same size, the 360 has larger main journals than the other SB Mopars.
