Crankshaft endplay

[race7820000]

I'll post some pics of what I find today. Going to replace all the bearings

The reason I pulled pan is when I shut truck off I can take a pry bar and pull crank out. Like I can see it. And if I can see it im assuming it's more than .020 lolI'm sure it's not moving as much as I think but looks like 1/16th of a inch or so. So this was my attempt to find a vibration at high rpm at idle. Does it without a trans in it also so not that.I realize what I'm doing is temporary at best.

Before I get roasted I know it needs rebuilt and I'm going to this fall, be aweful handy to figure out why it's doing what it's doing. And I'm posting so when the next guy does a search for a similar probelm he will find something and an update as to if probelm was solved .

This site is awesome, from this site I've done my own overhead, all the injectors and now the lower end bearings.
