Good morning John and to all,
Now what I'm about to say is not a recommendation for the line pressure in your transmission. In the past I ran 165 to 175 line pressure in my Glides and it didn't smear the frictions, and they lived a long life without thrust bearing problems. More recently I'm running 180 lbs. in my metrics, without smearing the frictions or any thrust bearing problems. I've known some racers to have less line pressure and a few to have more, what I'll say is - what line pressure works for you without destroying parts is best.
My past experience tells me that torque converters and/or front pump clearance's will more than likely be the root cause. If the thrust bearing is worn excessively on the converter side that would be my first clue as to where to look next. I'm going to say - if the gentleman that's been doing your cranks for you all these years without failure , and you've recently started having problems in that area , then he's not the problem.
Have a good day.
Respectfully,
