!976 914, 2.0 engine T4, 80,000 mile car. Engine apart, excessive flywheel thrust and oil leakage from everywhere. Question on crankshaft thrust. The thrust bearing surface is worn to a knife edge. Is there a measurement from back of case to case bearing surface? Is this where the possible; "cutting the thrust" happens? In Arizona, Tucson, Phoenix or? Is there a shop for good case machine work? The bearing faces look good. Appears engine has never been apart before. Bottom line, how to know if case is not worn at thrust area, and is repairable? Center main bearing insert had crush. Not sure about line bore yet. Thank you in advance. Mr.Vman
