    thrust bearing issue

     



    putting together a 406 with scat rotating assembly. I noticed when I put the thrust bearing in that the oil galley hole did not match up entirely with the bearing. The bearings are King and are std. Should I do any grinding to match the hole up? . Thanks for any input.

    Hey Pat, I think that is a new world record response time. I figured that i wouldn't be able to finish this engine until Monday...now i can at least do some grinding and install the crank tonight. Now you have an idea of what my social life is on a sat night. Chas'n skirts is always secondary to assembling an engine. Thanks dude!!!!

    well you got a response so you know what my social life is like hold the bearing with back side facing you when you file it. if you slip you will not hit the finsh side of the bearing .do not use a air grinder to open it up .the hot metal will stick to the babbitt .check your oil clearance on the thust i would not be shock that its pass .004+ with a king H bearing
