Took the motor all apart. I must admit, in the area where the crank and block are next to the thrust washers, nothing jumped out at me. Both washers had fallen out again and both were mangled up. I'm going to chuck the block (the 5th crank bearing block had been all chewed up. The crank I would not mind saving and there is a shop here that does nothing but crankshafts so I may take it to him for an opinion on whether to get rid of it.
This is all very sad as this ex-ITC race motor was otherwise in great shape. Pistons and rings look brand new, rod and crank bearings look perfect. The motor always had really nice oil pressure.
I'll keep all the ancillaries and actually a lot of those parts are needed to finish up the replacement motor.
If there are any measurements or pictures wanted in regard to the thrust washer issue, let me know.
