anyone have trouble with their thrust bearing being too wide for the crank and block? got the upper in after filing the back where block is curved but there's not near enough room for the crank . the thrust surface of crank hits and i'd have to pound it on . not even sure that'd get it .
bearing kit is king - mb7719si010 . rest of bearings are good . thanks for any help , calling summit now .

Yep, everyone thinks all engines are Chevy's. one of my buds did that with his 302, even hauled it back down to the machine shop!
