About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your engine, especially for a Nissan VQ40DE, you'll want to make sure your crankshaft has just the right amount of end play. That's where a thrust washer set like this one from King Engine Bearings comes in. These washers sit between the crankshaft and the engine block to control that critical end-to-end movement, ensuring your rotating assembly stays properly aligned.

King Engine Bearings specializes in making just this type of component, and this set is built with a lead-free, environmentally safe composite material. It's a bi-metal aluminum construction that's ideal for engines that aren't under extreme, constant high-load conditions. This means they offer solid performance for many common rebuilds and applications, fitting a range of Nissan and Suzuki vehicles from the mid-2000s to early 2020s.
