7 boltThrust Bearing

[manuel2063]

I have a 99 gst 7 bolt, had the engine rebuilt only have 127 miles and have crankwalk, my question is why cant i put a 1st gen bearing in the top middle with the lips on it (it does fit) beacause it makes a perfect fit so and endplay is with in specs. everyone has told me that you cant do this, but i want to know why?

thanks but this is the 7 bolt the had the old style bearings, mine is the one that uses the 3 piece unit

did you rebuild the motor because of crankwalk?

 

[manuel2063]

No, head rebuild and decided to do the short block too.

dude, its simple it wasnt built right


EVEN the most crankwalked year eclipse could be rebuilt and wont crankwalk that fast, thats STRICTLY a builder problem

Take that shit back and give them shit about it

How does a brand new motor with brand new things on it walk that fast? , its rediculous, i hope people dont start blaming this on 7bolts


ESPECIALLY a 99, which the redesigned bearings and crank

Im not building mine till it goes out, im a 99gst, and i will rebuild my 7 bolt

You just have to find the right place to do it

i agree completley, thats why i asked if it had a previous problem, you can def. nail them for that.

i have a 96 rebuilt in know its not 99, walked in 10,000 miles i really killed it 3mm of endplay. Machine shop fully Assembled my motor. Think they f*d that up too?

Going fully built 6 bolt so it doesn't matter anyway.
