It didn't read that way to me... When I read it I took it that the car had a TBF and that the engine swap would be getting the P-klamp... Maybe I misread. If in fact there was a TBF with one you must question how far gone the bearing was before install and if the install was done correctly...

http://liftbars.com/ Flexplate Pklamp. If your new, checkout the liftbars. Incredibly helpful if you do your own work.

All im saying is that since the car is getting a different engine from another car (do to a thrust bearing failure)the clamp that was on the car is no longer need it.

The one with TBF or the engine donor?
And if the one with TBF, why was there TBF with a PKlamp?

Most likely, the PKlamp was added too late.
Like a dead automatic with a recent fluid/filter change.
Thanks-ish!
The PKlamp compliments the factory clamp, so it's not like it's a "new" product.
I have not seen, or heard, of any movement after a PKlamp installation (but for Bill's initial installation, with no movement thereafter).
With either clamp, folks should check the flexplate once a year. With only the factory clamp, every oil change.

I personally use both.
Because of the "lack of testing", by Ken, I consider the PorKlamp to be a "stop gap" method, to help keep the flex plate from moving, until the car has either the engine or transmission out to install Constantine's clamp.
Worth mentioning is that I've not seen any "migration" with cars equipped with Ken's clamp, so it "might" be more permanent than I initially thought.

Both the Constantine and the PKlamp stop further pressure on the flex plate. They do not recover/save a car from TBF if the crank end play is beyond 0.016"
On my GTS the PKlamp has been in place for nearly three years and about 30k miles - still no movement.

Try to do better next time.
My PKlamp experience: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...xperience.html
I've had my PorClamp on for over a year after having end play pressure released. Need to do a re-check soon, but based on your information I'm not worried.

Things can change, fail or break and with this being such an important engine health issue, checking it often would be prudent no matter what you are using.
