What is the purpose of thrust washers in an engine?

Thrust washers are installed around the main bearings to control the fore-and-aft movement, or end play, of the crankshaft. This prevents the crankshaft from moving too far in either direction, which is essential for maintaining proper engine timing and preventing damage.

What does 'lead-free composite' mean for these bearings?

It means the material used in these thrust washers does not contain lead, making them an environmentally safer option. This is a common practice in modern bearing manufacturing to meet environmental regulations.

Are these bearings suitable for high-performance or racing engines?

These specific thrust washers are made with a bi-metal aluminum material that is ideal for low to medium-load engines. For high-performance or racing applications, you would typically look for bearings designed for higher load capacities and more extreme conditions.
