There have been some thrust bearing issues here on a few engines, and I've seen threads on the Corral with similar stories. So far every one has ended up being the clearance of the torque converter to the crank, not enough. They have all been aftermarket TC's, so I think there's a need for closer inspection of the TC clearance, a check when the stock TC comes out, and verify the new combination. I'm worried about that too, and FYI I saw it with a clutch also in a 302 Miata last Fall. It's all an adventure, but good times, better than a job etc.
