What is the purpose of thrust washers in an engine?

Thrust washers are crucial components that control the crankshaft's end play, which is the amount of fore-and-aft movement it can have. They help keep the crankshaft properly positioned within the engine block.

What makes the AM-Series different from standard thrust washers?

The AM-Series features a unique material composition developed by King Engine Bearings. This material is designed to offer improved durability and performance, helping to withstand the demands of engine operation.

When should I consider replacing thrust washers?

Thrust washers are typically replaced during a complete engine rebuild or when servicing the crankshaft and main bearings. Signs of wear can include excessive crankshaft end play or unusual engine noises.
