What is the function of thrust washers in an engine?

Thrust washers control the end play of the crankshaft, which is its forward and backward movement within the engine block. This controlled movement is vital for maintaining proper oil flow and preventing damage to other engine parts.

What does 'end play' refer to for a crankshaft?

End play is the amount of axial (forward and backward) movement a crankshaft has within its main bearings. Thrust washers are designed to limit this movement to a specific, acceptable range.

Are these thrust washers a direct replacement for the original parts?

Yes, this Clevite thrust washer set TW701S is manufactured to meet the original equipment specifications for Caterpillar C10, C11, and C12 engines, serving as a direct replacement.
