Crank Thrusting Foreward Issues

yellow rose said

It's easy to not get the converter all the way in. When you bolted the converter to the flex plate, you should have had to grab the converter and pulled it to the flex plate. Should have moved a bunch.

That is issue number 1 when a thrust bearing goes out.

Well to touch on that, I roasted the rear clutch by accident shortly after its first engine start from forgetting to set the kickdown right. So I had to pull it, fix it, and put it back in.

So what you're saying is that I may have bumped the flexplate with the converter, pushing the crank forward and fucked #3 bearing?
