For future reference can you tell be if the balls you are useing are 7mm.
I'll get a measurement of a 700R4 TV Exhaust checkball tomorrow, I never bothered to measure them as they just "Work".

If so can I empty stack all the way up?
It's really up to you......As the Front Unit End-Play is controlled by the Thrust under the Pump.
You can go ahead final assemble the unit up to the Forward Drum......Omitting the 4th Clutch Housing during the check & adjust process.
*Leave the Outer Pump Housing O-ring off.
*It's advisable to leave the Turbine Shaft Sealing Rings off as well.....'til the end-play is checked & adjusted.
*Make sure the Paper Case to Pump Gasket is in place!
*Lightly snug the pump bolts & VERIFY you have some kind of end-play BEFORE you torque them to 18 ft lbs!!!!!
*Check end-play & readjust as needed.
TECH TIP........
The Turbine Shaft floats in the OD Carrier.
To make checking end-play easier....Shim the the space between the Turbine Shaft Snap Ring & the OD Carrier....To prevent the Turbine Shaft from moving vertically in the OD Carrier.
Make sure to remove the shim upon final assembly!
**I had to machine a shim as I couldn't find a suitable one laying around.
