If you have a friend with a stethascope (sp?) you may be able to take a listen down by the sump and figure out which one it is. Good luck, Scott Allen; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00399.html (8,378 bytes)

The thrust washers control the end float of the crank shaft. The washers on your car are on the #3 main bearing (m; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00402.html (8,476 bytes)
4. Re: Free play in crank?? ('70 MGB) (score: 1): Author: "Harlan Jillson" <hjillson@argohouston.com>; Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1999 08:16:26 CST; This is a good one. Scott votes for spun bearing, and Eric is betting on worn thrust washers.... If I understand correctly, the problem with the movement is that the fan rotates up to 3/8 of an inch,; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00405.html (8,597 bytes)

I've heard of it happening, but didn't have any experience. Plus, I was and still am in denial. I rebuilt the motor 1; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00407.html (8,494 bytes)

Been there, done that. Like Harlan goes on to say though, you'd expect a drop in oil pressure (if a spun bearing) unless the engine was; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00408.html (7,862 bytes)

('70 MGB) (score: 1): Author: "Lawrie Alexander" <Lawrie@britcars.com>; Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1999 07:50:58 -0800; I'm not sure how missing thrust washers, which limit the fore-and-aft movement of the crankshaft, would enable the fan to move forward a noticeable amount. This would happen an a Triumph TR3 or 4, w; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00411.html (9,663 bytes)

TR's would do this (fan is mounted to crank) but not a B. The fan is water pump mounted, isolated by the fan belt. Have I mi; /html/mgs/1999-01/msg00414.html (7,584 bytes)
