Whoa -
"machining on the crank to fit full thrust washers" !?!
What be that?!?
As we speak, I'm assembling the parts to put a new crank and possibly block
in my '73 daily driver. I've been fighting thrust washers for about 11
years now; that's when they first dropped into the oil pan. I figured out
the clutch problem _almost_ soon enough to prvent damage. I had the
surfaces machined and put in the thicker washers but it wasn't 100%. Last
year I pinned in new washers but they're grinding down rapidly.
This is the first I heard of this technique. Can you fill me in on the
details?
Thanks,
