That is a true statement, if we were talking about the future, but we are not. I am speaking of the present. Right now, at this moment, there resides a brand new set of thrust bearings in the bottom end of my motor. I did NOT take the motor out of the vehicle to put them in. Your arguments were based on your opinion, which I greatly appreciate, but then to attack me because I decided to use my own idea instead of yours. You had no proof to back your opinion up. Which is also why I decided to go ahead and try the thrust bearing swap in the car. At the very worst, what could have happened was a little time lost. Thank you for your opinion and for showing what kind of intelligence people can expect from people like you.
