Yes! Remember though that some of these messages are contrived to
get new folks so filled with anxiety about their cars that they'll
sell 'em to us to us dirt cheap.
I always liked tr6's...where are you located again? :-)

Baby-toe-nail-itis!! Not good...not good at all. Left as it is this
condition will most certainly progress to *Big* toe-nail-itis and it's
not a pretty sight.
Serious mode on: A few folks have posted that .010" is the maximum
crankshaft endfloat for a tr6. 1/32" is over *three times* that
number.
My best guess right now <and this is only a guess> is that you have
*not* dropped the thrustwashers into the oil pan but that you're
very close to doing so.
I would change 'em out straight away.
