Hey dose anyone know how much end-float on the crank is o.k. i have .010 on mine i would think that with new thrust bearings it would be o.k
But i just want to make sure first

That's fine.
Standard should be approx 0.004" - 0.008", with a limit of 0.011".

so just a set of rings and bearings should do it then

Thrust bearing should come with main bearings anyway, that should bring it pretty close to standard.
