I agree the rod failure would be hard to pin on a trans issue. Not so with the thrust. 7 to 8 thou is a good number. Bump or pry the crank back and forth a few times before tightening the main cap and force the crank towards the front of the engine when torquing that cap down.

If the issue started after having the trans apart, I would have someone familiar with that unit in a race application look closely at it. Would be nice to run it on a trans dyno to verify pressures before putting it back in.
