Question (Jon): when you placed the newly acquired thrust plate to the face of the block, will the provided bolt holes within the plate align with the two gallery holes (so called 11 o'clock & 4 o'clock) simultaneously, forget the larger cam/gear center holes alignment in this inquiry? Yes........No?
If so, the next question I would ask, is to establish the sum of the deviation and direction the larger center hole in the thrust plate is from the camshaft center location with the bolt holes aligned w/ the gallery orifices.
Perhaps, since you initiated the line drawing program, may I suggest doing a somewhat accurate tracing to paper of the thrust plate holes (external profile unimportant), using a very sharp point pencil and light effort making fine lines, closely following the I.D. profile of each hole maintaining the relationship between one another, so as to minimize the difference in the actual material dimension vs. depicted. Then with straight edge draw a connecting line between the two bolt holes intersecting but not bisecting the outside radii, and then additional line @ 90° of the previous, to present an "X" & "Y" axis reference lines for measurement within this plane, and establishing the location of the larger, center, camshaft hole in reference to the bolt holes, also providing the diameter of each hole. Got-it!
Now, communicate such, and perhaps someone (perhaps myself) can make head or tails of it, and compare your supplied dimensions to examples available and determine right from wrong? This may not sound very accurate, but with diligence on your part, the values can be well within the requirements, as the thrust plate demonstrates excessive movement and possible dislocation beyond the inaccuracies required in your effort.
If your game, I'll play!
