Thrust Bearing Cadillac DeVille Concours

  1. To measure crankshaft end play, pry crankshaft to extreme forward position. Using feeler gauge, measure distance between crankshaft thrust face and thrust face of No. 3 bearing (front side of bearing).
  2. When using a dial indicator, mount indicator on block beside flywheel flange, and measure crankshaft movement while prying crankshaft back and forth. If end play is not within specification, replace thrust bearing and/or crankshaft as necessary.
