couple questions:

If the block needs to be decked, do I have to take material off the new sleeves as well?

I checked the crankshaft end play with a feeler gage at .041. Is this overly excessive or is this typical wear for an engine that needs an over haul? Will the new thrust bearing take care of it?

Should there be this much of a gap between the crank gear and the journal in the pic?

You typically do NOT deck those old wet-sleeve blocks. Use a good sealer around every water passage hole in the head gasket and re-torque head bolts (cold) after a couple hrs of run time. What you must do when decking is re-cut the sleeve counter bores. Too expensive for my wallet.

A good machine shop will cut the counter bore the same amount when decking. The gear is to be tight against the journal.

.040 end shake is not abnormal when taking apart a WORN ENGINE....end shake should be more like .003 - .005 inch... You put in the new bearings and see what you get.. If you have to reduce the clearance, you can pull the gear back off and machine a step on the end so it pushes on a few thousandths more.

So the space between the gear and the journal should not be there and mine has walked out. Is it just a matter of the machine shop pressing the gear back against the journal to bring it back to the proper end play?

I should add- the space between the gear and the journal is .060

I guess another question is if the gear is pressed all the way to the journal does it even act as a thrust surface or not?
