I don't see this ending well.

I'm trying to picture the stack of stuff on the shaft behind the front cover and figure out which pieces **** the bed. Its all in there pretty tight even with out good thrust bearings.

If the e-shaft cracked, wouldn't that cause it to slip back n forth?

I read a thread where a guys e-shaft was cracked through, and the flywheel could move back n forth a half inch or so

Has it been rebuilt recently? Possibly missing a spacer in the front stack?

It seems like anything that would cause these symptoms would cause catastrophic damage elsewhere. Are you sure it still runs?

the thrust bearing/washer is probably missing or wore out... you will have to remove the front cover to fix it

Have you messed with the front eccentric shaft bolt at all? Maybe installing a new oil thermo valve pellet or anything there?

I don't see the clutch job having anything to do with it, though.

Any time that pulley moves, it is due to a thrust bearing or spacer problem. Don't drive the car in this condition otherwise you will almost certainly cause major damage.

If the bearing failed spontaneously, it is due to some other problem like lack of oil. It will also have filled your oil system full of metal shavings.

If someone removed the front hub nut for some reason (maybe they used it to brace the engine so the flywheel nut could be removed?) then the bearing could have fallen behind the spacer with the same result.

if the spacer falls out of place - it would make the hub sit farther forward toward the radiator... so either that guy discingrated and you retorqued the e-bolt farther in....

how about a picture?
