Give us some backround on this:
was it rebuilt first and then 3 cranks? Or just went out and you've put 3 cranks in it?
When installing transmission, could you slide the convertor away from the flexplate after bolting transmission in? It should not be "tight".

May have the same thing happening to the new converter if excessive line pressure. It would seem like something is putting extreme thrust on the crank.
No, engine has to be connected up and running and a pressure gauge fitted to the test port on the trans.

ok the engine came out of a 1989 f150 that was in a car crash it was the only thing that survived. bought the truck with a blow engine they thew a rod though the block. so we put the 89 engine in the 94 chassis the trans was from the 94 the first crank was we had the wrong size flex plate in it so that one didnt last long. the second crank was blown front cover gasket got water in the oil and now it will be the third and im trying to get info to fix the issue once and for all. and would there be anything in the trans that could push the crank into the thrust?
