347 Stroker Engine Build Thrust Bearing
|
If there’s one thing we failed to point out in Part 1, it’s the location of the thrust bearing. Shown here, the thrust bearing should go on the No. 3 main bearing position. Either through assumption and/or pride, your author placed the thrust bearing in the No. 5 position during initial assembly. It wasn’t until after the engine was in the car and running that we noticed the excessive crankshaft endplay. Thankfully, Modified Mustangs & Fords Technical Editor Mark Houlahan was able to identify our mistake and assist with fixing it. We ended up replacing all five main bearings, and no other damage was caused. View Related Article
