you might want to check out My Thrust Bearing has Failed - Rennlist Discussion Forums
Some TBF engines can be saved, it depends on how far the damage has progressed. Sevral people have reported the web in the block behind the TB has cracked, I am not aware of any of those blocks being saved. A couple of people have rebuilt the TB mounting surface by careful and proper welding and remachining...I understand some of the sucess or failure is also dependent upon if the bearing has frozen on the crank and rotated in the block, or not....
Good luck with your repair, I hope you can save it....photos and details of how you do it and what you find when stripping the block would be really nice....
