Hi Guys - one more quick question:  one of the motors that did NOT have thrust washers in it has a Hot Rods connecting rod - are thrust washers required for all applications or are they not necessary with these connecting rods?

Thanks

FYI - for anyone who may be interested, I contacted Hot Rods and asked this question and their reply was:

"Yes, you still need to use the OE washers on the small end."
