Thrust Bearing Alignment

Measure crankshaft endplay at center main bearing using a feeler gauge. If endplay exceeds 0.012" (0.3 mm), thrust washers must be replaced with oversize thrust washers to obtain specified endplay. Standard thrust washer thickness is 0.1152 - 0.1171" (2.93 - 2.98 mm). First oversize is 0.1177 - 0.1197" (2.99 - 3.04 mm) thick and second oversize is 0.1201 - 0.1220" (3.05 - 3.10 mm). When installing thrust washer, position grooved side of thrust washer toward thrust surface of crankshaft.
