Man that’s GREAT news. Now go have fun. With a friend and a dial indicator you can check that thrust clearance without removing the pan. I can do it by myself but I have lots of practice and tools for checking it.
I know! I’m so relieved. Did not want to take the pan off at all. I think I’ll leave it sealed up down there and check the crank thrust bearing externally instead. I have a nice starret gauge. Thanks for the advice!
