Dave,
   Listen to Lynn..........If the thrust bearing clearance was too tight and
you shortened the original spacer the clearance was "reduced" even
more.........Perhaps to almost nothing........FWIW

Longer spacer = more end play. Shorter spacer = less end play.

Im pretty sure the end play was correct - I either talked to you or
bruce on the phone a while back (2004?? 2005??) when we got to this
stage because my end play was a little low - 2 or 3 thousands too
tight.. and it was fixed by wetsanding the spacer (with the letter on it
to denote size) for a bit to bring the end play into range (rather than
ordering a new spacer)
