Default Re: Excessive crank end float.

Crazy question if you can't find an org thrust bearing that has the thicker thrust surface, if you have to do something to the bearing you have would it be best to do the work on the front side that it will just have normal thrust load and not the back where it has clutch pressure against it?

Absolutely correct. The .015" or so that Mart needs would cause no problem if done as you suggest.
