It should hold with 2 strips and turn with 1 strip. Remove shims as needed. If the thrust is broken in the block check out Berts Model A Store on-line for a bronze rear main seal with thrust. Part # A-6336. Good Luck! Dan in Reno Nedada

"Bronze Rear Main Thrust Washer- USA made. Replaces the A6335 rear main seal. Gives the engine a better rear main thrust surface." dansluck, how do you even install that thing? Can he do it with the motor in the car?
