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. This prevents the crankshaft from moving too far in either direction, which is essential for maintaining engine timing and preventing damage to other engine components.

What type of engines are these thrust washers best suited for?

These thrust washers are made from a bi-metal aluminum material with a lead-free composite. They are specifically recommended for low to medium-load engine applications, making them a good choice for many standard engine builds.

Does this thrust washer set include all the necessary pieces for installation?

This product is a set of thrust washers. It is important to refer to your vehicle's specific repair manual or consult with a mechanic to ensure you have all other necessary components and hardware for a complete engine rebuild or repair.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings specializes in engine bearings, and this thrust washer set, part number TW226AM, is built for engines like the Toyota 3SGTE. These washers are crucial for controlling the crankshaft's end play, which is the amount of fore-and-aft movement it can have within the engine block. Keeping this movement in check is vital for proper engine timing and preventing damage.

This particular set uses a lead-free composite material that's environmentally safe. It's a bi-metal aluminum construction that works well in engines that don't experience extremely high loads. This makes them a solid option for many applications, including a wide range of Toyota vehicles from the 1970s through the late 1990s, such as the Celica, MR2, and Corolla.
