Good news! Found the problem when scouting flexplate health again and how to drop k-member. I removed serpetine belt and wiggled balancer .....
Bad news! I have crank front to back play, roughly measured a whole 1.3mm or 0.051" (close to 1/16"). To be exact I must get dial gauge.
Now, the HB play is followed by flexplate hence I know crank has a play....
Pushing HB front and back is very, very close to knock sound I hear on idle :-(
According to play, what may I expect down there? Thrust bearing, beaten bearings or machining?
