What is the purpose of thrust washers?

Thrust washers are installed around the crankshaft to control its end-play, which is the amount of fore-and-aft movement. Proper end-play is essential for the crankshaft to operate smoothly and prevent damage to other engine components.

What does 'bi-metal aluminum material' mean for these washers?

This means the washers are made of two different metals bonded together, with aluminum as the primary material. This construction is chosen for its good thermal conductivity and wear characteristics in many engine applications.

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

These specific thrust washers are noted as being ideal for low to medium-load engines. For high-performance or racing applications, you would typically look for a different type of bearing material and design that can handle higher stresses.

Product Details

King Engine Bearings has been focused on making top-quality engine bearings since they started in 1960. This thrust washer set is built for engines that don't handle extremely heavy loads, like those found in many daily drivers. They are made from a bi-metal aluminum material and use a lead-free composite that's better for the environment.

These washers help control the end-play of your crankshaft, ensuring it stays properly positioned within the engine block. This is crucial for smooth engine operation and preventing premature wear on other internal components. The lead-free composite is a notable update for environmental safety without sacrificing performance in these types of engines.
