How did you check end play? With cam locking up? Or did you do it on the bench? Can you dissassemble it, leave the 4 bolts out, and re assemble, then check end play? Thrust plate on backwrds?

You use the term "drift key". Do you mean a pin, or a key? Anyhow, the gear may be hanging up on the key, and getting cocked. Might go away if you actually do tighten it to specs? I've sure had Chevy SB mains that would lock up at 30 ft/lbs, but loosen up as final torque is neared...

Clean all the oil off, coat everything with Dye-Chem, or a stinky felt tip, then try reassembling and turning it as you tighten to bind. Then look for scratchs in the ink...
