Hi Mike,
OK, now I'm worried. What kind of damage will dropping the thrust washer do
to the block? What do I look for?
Pinning the thrust washer sounds like a good idea. The oil cooler is
patiently waiting to be installed. Balancing is planned. Line (align?)
boring wasn't, but will now be investigated. Thanks.
