Since my motor was half apart, took the time to look at more things to see if I missed something as this was my first BBC assembly and I'm nowhere near a pro engine builder as you might guess... Well... Removed the crank and in the process installed a new rear seal that I had laying around, BUT I also found out a nick in the rear main bearing thrust face... Pretty sure I did it when installing the crank but did not notice it... End play checked OK at .004"
Everything else looks brand new (bearings are Kings bimetal). So now for the expensive part... What do you think? Should I replace it or leave it like that?? I did lay it on a flat with some 800 grit paper to look for high spots but nothing.
Thanks
