Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
One other thing was changed, weight of the car.
Was at 3640, now @ 3750. Crank is internally balanced with Mallory metal. This is why I elected to have it repaired. To avoid the cost of rebalancing another crank. Rob & Main bearings have been changed every time. I am going to change out the crankshaft this time & have the line bore checked & corrected if need be. Since I'm new to this type of racing, anyone want to recommend a crank shop? |

Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
Make sure the hub is not bottoming out and pulling the flex plate to the converter.I had a simlair problem.had to put washers under the converter legs to pull it out of the crank.

Re: Mopar thrust bearing failure
when you believe the clearance is set, I like to check the area's with a feeler gauge. just because the dial indicator says one number, the cap could still be crooked. the gauge will show if its the same everywhere..
