I can't believe people- NO THRUST WASHERS!
« on: September 27, 2013, 04:41:29 pm »
Got around to putting my 500 back together and noticed there were no thrust washers in the crank or piston. I am at a loss for words.
Is a special tool required to split the cases? How bad is it that these parts are missing?

I am referring to number 6 & 9



Thanks

There were none that I could see; and the piston moved back and forth as did the crank.

Part # 9 is probably there but you cannot usually see it unless you push the OEM rod to the extreme left or right to see it. Part # 9 has the same outside diameter as the rod bearing and sometimes runs inside the edge of the con rod where it is difficult to see.   If you have a Hot Rod, I do not think that Hot Rod uses Part # 9

I panicked about my crank also as it will move side to side but that is normal. They are probably there.

The piston wrist pin however does need them.
Ain't ever seen it......but I have heard it.

You can see the crank washers. They are definitely missing on the piston.
