When I put my thrust washer in place, I had never heard of the "pin it"
method which Daniel1312 mentioned. However, I did notice that my crank had
no float at all. I about knocked the engine over trying to make it move
too. That was two years ago. Maybe some day I'll get it running and will
let you all know how it turned out...

Agree wholeheartedly!!!! The POs mechanic did that on my 1500 and it hasnt
given me a moment's trouble. When I first disassembled it for new bearings,
I was surprised to find it and thought this was the dumbest thing I ever
saw.
But as I learned more about he slippage of the thrust washers, it became
apparant that my engine had been handled by a genious.
