i pulled my motor to freshen up cam and lifters good had a knock when i reved let off and tapped the gas. it only happenned when i tapped it not when the revving occured. i checked the thrust bearing :eek: "hold on to your seats" its .250 thou is the crank shot what can i do??????????? also it had a d-6 1300 rpm stall convertor in it when i bought it noticed the noise then recently put in a 2800 i dont no if the original convertor ballooned the previous owner
 
A quarter of an inch???!!! WOW! I'd say the crank is ruined. The thrust part of the bearing isn't even close to being that thick.
 
do you guys think it was the original convertor that ballooned it had the d-6 in it when i bought it cant see that ballooning it only stalled at 1300 and is that the knocking noise i heard
 
That knocking noise could be a number of things since the thrust is gone. A quarter inch makes things move around a lot internally in any engine.

A way to tell if the torque converter is knocking is to disconnect it from the crank. Then start the engine and listen.
