i was taking some pictures for the buyer of my turbo sheit, and i figured id show this awesomeness to you boys and girls this wrapped up my season short: (notice the ridge on the thrust journal) ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/IMG_0017.jpg?t=1193528013](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/IMG_0017.jpg?t=1193528013) that plus the thrust bearing being ground past the babbit and well into the copper equated to .040" play. still ran good though!.. gay iron clutches ahh well ---

[/quote] the crack in the piston was very minor. still had decent enough compression, although keeping it on the road would’ve been a bad idea either way. i was flirting with disaster on pump gas, and disaster won. live and learn [quote=“Carnut,post:9,topic:37730"”] Agreed, you need a twin plate.
