0.005" thrust is fine I don't agree.. This is too much. If however going this loose, the bearings should be ground flat. If installing brand new ones this loos, they'll open up at least one thou after the first 18 revolutions. The brand new ones are far from flat. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

if it was the first drive of the motor (ie the 2 meters before this happened), did it have oil pressure when you pressed the clutch in? if not i guess there was no lubrication on the thrusts, hence this mess when the clutch was pressed? |

What has oil pressure got to do with failed thrusts?

oil is pushed under pressure across the thrust bearing at the grooves, as they allow the oil to drain from the center main bearing, oil is drawn into the thrust, lubricating it. if the pressure from the clutch overcomes the oil film, the thrusts run pretty much dry, or, if the thrusts are installed the wrong way round, no oil gets to thrust and the same happens, but this time steel on steel.

It is normal for a fresh build engine, for the idle speed to drop whith the first few clutch operations while the thrusts bed in and find their seat. This was what i was hoping for when i firts tried the cluth but no 
The engine had oilpressure, light went out. It had also run before for some time so a lack off oil should not be the problem. But what endfloat i should aim for next time? there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

Those are the ones you need. And then you need to measure how much to skim them. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
