Those should only have factory marks from machining.

How much thrust end play do you have?

Im thinking the thrust bearing is toast...

Jesus Martinez

It don't have any play that's y I'm Sayn if it's normal or if I could still run it like that?

If it dont have excess play, youre good, but I have seen some Ls blocks eat the thrust and have wear like you shown. But if it doesnt have any excess, you should be fine.

How did you check it? Just curious.

Crow bar ima check again today have a buddy coming over we might just tear it down I really didn't want to cause I was just gunna put heads and cam and use this motor for a couple months till she blew then build a 6.0 on the side

So I took a better look and it looks like the main caps have little pieces of metal stiling out the bottom causing it to scratch it u think it'll cause a big problem later on? Just want to get this thing running already
