What is the purpose of thrust washers in an engine?

Thrust washers are installed around the crankshaft journals to limit the amount of fore-and-aft movement, known as end play. This prevents the crankshaft from shifting excessively and potentially damaging other engine components.

What material are these thrust washers made from?

These thrust washers are made from a durable material suitable for heavy-duty engine applications, designed to withstand the pressures and friction involved.

Are these washers a direct replacement for the original parts?

This Clevite thrust washer set (TW252S) is designed as a replacement for specific Caterpillar D315 and D318 engine models. Always verify fitment for your exact engine application.

About this part

Product Details

This is a Clevite thrust washer set, part number TW252S, for Caterpillar D315 (4-cylinder) and D318 (6-cylinder) engines. Thrust washers are crucial components in your engine's rotating assembly. They sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod or main bearing journals to control end play, which is the amount of fore-and-aft movement the crankshaft can have. Keeping this movement within spec is vital for proper engine operation and longevity.

This set is made from a durable material designed to withstand the pressures and friction found in these heavy-duty Caterpillar engines. Proper installation of these washers is key to ensuring your crankshaft stays centered and doesn't damage other engine components. When rebuilding or repairing your Caterpillar engine, using well-built components like this Clevite set helps ensure a solid foundation for reliable performance.
