If'n it were me, I would just pull the tranny and replace the seal, out the tranny back in, unless you wanted to pull the engine anyways in prep from the rebuild.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) And then my post above applies.


You must have missed the part about the rear main thrust bearing being damaged. It needs to be replaced. The crank is walking, and eating the rear of the bearing where the 3 end play shims reside. I've seen it before. I can hear the crank moving fore and aft.

Did I miss the part about what engine it is ?
4 or 6 cyl ?
Any chance you have blocked crankcase ventilation ?
IF a 4 cyl., your crank end play is so great that the seal is being pushed out of the case ? !!!
With the seal out you can re-set the end play no ?

Why do you think this happened?
Bearing failure?

Possible the shim stack might not have been right?

That is the possibility I'm suspecting most.

Sure rich. I removed the drive train, split the case, replaced the mains, put it back together, and the car is on the road.

For my next miracle I'm gonna walk on water.

You asked if you could swap it to the 1.8 in a weekend.
That was the question.

Just asking if you pulled it off.

As for your wise ass comment, a four day weekend, it could have been done...all of it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I already figured out that was what you meant rich. I guess I can be a little slow sometimes. I actually got my truck running and legal so it became not so important. The car is setting in my shop till work load says I have time.

I just went from 1.8L with FI to 2056 with carbs. Love the additional power. I couldn't imagine the letdown going from 2056 back to a 1.8L. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Up date. I've been driving the old truck while redoing the engine. Actually had all the necessary gaskets, and bearings on the shelf. Only had to purchase new Hastings rings. It was indeed the end play set incorrectly. Destroyed the trust bearing, and the #3 main was also showing some wear. Got to it just in time. Had crank and cam polished, and heads refreshed. Engine has been ready for a month, but just had no time. Customers waiting on their new kitchens. Yesterday was the day! Rolled the engine under the car 2:30 yesterday and fired it up at 4:30. Then drive it home at 8:00.

Way to go! My first car a 68 bug was purchased with serious end play, I feel your pain, good job catching it when you did mine cost a set of cases and more than a few "told you so's" from my Dad. That was a few cars and years ago but we laugh about it now.

Super! But you make the rest of of us slackers look worse than we already are. Nice collection of saw horses. I used to have a set made from 2x6s that was 6' tall.
