Thrust bearing cap offset

crash520 said

the issue is without caps installed I have 0.018”, which means all the thrust is taken by the cap rather than the block which in my mind is not ideal. More to follow

Is this a manual trans vehicle? then I agree that IF the cap is taking all the thrust lets do more fine tuning . is the cap offset to the front or the rear? if it is an automatic then the crank floats, unless u have ballooned the convert. and if your cap is directly aligned to the block the clearance = .018" = wide. so maybe Chrysler machined that block perfect to get the .002-.007" as in the service man. for 340
