ok so here is the deal last saturday i replaced my head because i had a dead cylinder do to a valve not seating right. i put in 3g lifters and put my 272's back in
bolted everything up did an oil change with vr1 20w50 and new tranny and transfer case and diff fluid redline 85w140. i messed up and hooked my catch can up to both ports on the valve cover and fired it up and it was POURING oil out. didn't catch it that i did that to the catch can just looked to see where the oil was coming from and found out it was from my rear main seal. well i caught that it was the catch can and put it back to normal and the leak went away for the most part now it is an occasional drip. but what im needing help with is i noticed when i push in my clutch i felt and saw the harmonic balancer come out a good quarter of an inch i had the block built about 10k ago and don't want to jump to any conclusions but I'm thinking i am seeing the first signs of crank walk if im wrong i would be happy but i don't know.
also about two weeks ago i was at the track and launched it 2 step set up at 5k and slipped the clutch and did fine got home and went to start it up in the moring to go to work and it would not go into gear took of the tranny and the clutch plate was seized to the pressure plate so i just threw in a act2600 clutch plate that i had laying around with a oem pressure plate and it started and went into gear fine.
