couple questions: If the block needs to be decked, do I have to take material off the new sleeves as well? I checked the crankshaft end play with a feeler gage at .041. Is this overly excessive or is this typical wear for an engine that needs an over haul? Will the new thrust bearing take care of it? Should there be this much of a gap between the crank gear and the journal in the pic?  |

| You typically do NOT deck those old wet-sleeve blocks. Use a good sealer around every water passage hole in the head gasket and re-torque head bolts (cold) after a couple hrs of run time. What you must do when decking is re-cut the sleeve counter bores. Too expensive for my wallet. |
