Thrust problems with two step in Stock

Darcy Clarke · 09-19-2024, 06:41 AM

In 2017 I fought thrust bearing issues in my Superstocker. I researched everything I could find about it and made several changes. In the rear side of the thrust face I drilled a .060" hile through the thrust face into the oil gallery and then dressed the bearing to allow the pressure fed oil to cover the face. I also added ground straps from the transmission as well as the starter to ensure that there was no chance of a poor ground. Mopar starters bolt to the transmission. I measured the converter pull up and made a .060" shim for the Bell housing to increase my pull up. I switched my main caps to billet caps. I did no transmission modifications and my issues went away.
