yeah thats probably not gonna happen. Any advice on the better thrust bearings tho?

 

No way to get a 6-bolt into an Evo. The Evos thrust bearing is the best there is, there is no aftermarlet replacement sense the motors don't generally crankwalk. Just have to hope you get a good factory replacement.

 

fingrers crossed and thats the advise i need. Thx a bunch!!

Any other tips while my mechanic is in there replacing the engine?

Im gonna have him put in a blox motor mount, shifter bushings (base and under hood), walbro fuel pump, and mayb the MAP crankcase vacuum kit. is the crankcase vacuum kit worth it?
