What is the purpose of thrust washers in an engine?

Thrust washers are designed to control the axial movement, or end play, of the crankshaft. This prevents the crankshaft from moving too far forward or backward within the engine block, which is essential for maintaining proper oil pressure and preventing damage.

What material are these thrust washers made from?

These thrust washers feature a hardened steel backing for strength and a high-performance overlay material designed to handle engine loads and temperatures.

About this part

Product Details

The TW1088AM thrust washer set from King Engine Bearings is made from a hardened steel backing with a high-performance overlay. This specific design helps manage the crankshaft's end play, which is crucial for maintaining proper oil pressure and engine longevity. These washers are a direct replacement for the stock components in VW DKTA EA 888 GEN III engines, ensuring a proper fit during rebuilds.

King Engine Bearings uses a multi-layer overlay material that is bonded to the hardened steel backing.

By controlling the crankshaft's axial movement, these thrust washers play a vital role in the overall health of your engine's rotating assembly.
