I having to pull the moter to rebuild due to crankshaft end play is almost 3/8 of an inch and it has been making a horible sqealing sound and when you push the crankshaft in it stops ! Never seen this ever. Lol. Second I need to replace the transfer case to trans gasket but dont know where to but or start to look for?What would cause a crank to fail like that? Never in my life have I seen this and I hope the conecting rods are not hurt from all the movement. Any sugestions or guidence will be greatly appreciated =)

thanks

Check the thrust bearing could be worned out causing the excessive play

That is from normal wear. The rods should be fine, but make sure you replace bearings. As far as gasket, you should be able to get one at a parts store. They may have to order it, but should be able to get it. If they can't a dealer will have one or you could contact a trans shop and get one from them.
