[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 9539406, member: 20202"] I think the TOB design does not allow for a robust bearing. They probably had to compromise that to allow for the self alignment feature. Most TOB's I've seen employ a huge roller thrust bearing and a fat oil seal (I can't even see whether the Ford TOB even has one). There must be a spherical bearing arrangement that is not ideal to take-up thrust loads. I recall seeing a Ford technical publication on checking the block-to-tranny centerline alignment to ensure they were true. It was soo involved it made my head spin. I guess this could be an issue with any engine but it makes one wonder why Ford felt they needed a self alignment feature in the first place :dw: [/QUOTE]
