What is the purpose of thrust washers in an engine?

Thrust washers are essential components that control the amount of fore-and-aft movement, known as end play, of the crankshaft. They sit between the crankshaft and the engine block to prevent the crankshaft from moving too far in either direction.

Why is the size specified as +0.25mm?

The '+0.25mm' indicates that these thrust washers are 0.25mm larger than the standard size. This is typically used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down (ground undersize) during an engine rebuild to ensure proper clearance and fit.

What material are these thrust washers made from?

While the specific material composition isn't detailed, King Engine Bearings is known for using durable materials suitable for high-friction and high-temperature engine environments to ensure longevity.
