Ok SO after having the car built with about 10k miles how would a thrust bearing fail what would cause this ?? Also the oil squirters fell to the bottom of the oil pan they got knocked off maybe by the thrust bearing but what would cause this anyone?

Probably the other way around, the oil squirters fell out, the oil pressure was low and this took out the thrust bearing.

Ok well could anyone explain to me I looked for what oil squirters do and it says it feed oil to the bottom of the pistons? THe reason i ask is because the way I found out about the bottom end I had a tap from the head so all the lifters got loud. So I just thought they needed replaceing but come to find out I had no Oil pressure to the head, so then I was gonna replace the oil pump because I thought that was the problem. Then i saw it was the oil squirters but do they feed oil to the head also? Or it may also be the oil pump??

If the squirters fell out the main oil galley has 4 HUGE holes in it and you have no oil pressure anywhere.

You can setup your clutch pedal so that there is always thrust load being applied also, check that too.

How do I do that??

If your oil squirters fell out this isn't a clutch issue.

I take it you have the 6 bolt block. Did the squirters including the banjo bolt that holds them in fall out or just the squirter tubes? If its the tubes only then they probably got knocked off by excessive crank end play. Did the thrust bearing burn up on the clutch side or pulley side?
Since you have a dsm have you tried dsmtuners? There is a ton of information on there about the dsm.

Evo has the same style squirters as a 6bolt DSM block.

and yes oil squirters and banjo bolts both came out on the first 3 cylinders..... How would I check for the crank end Play and a thrust bearing I believe is a wieght for the crank shaft?

I think you need a someone who's know about Evo builds because it sounds like you don't know the workings of a Evo engine.
