Thurst Bearing ?

[Dean McAllister]

Can someone confirm part # 99610112952 (part is stamped 952) is a thrust washer and more important, how is easy it to replace them ? I found it in my oil pan !

It is a thrust washer, #24 in the diagram and it will require considerable disassembly to access:

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I need to decide if I spend the $ to repair it (sounds like several thousand) or just toss a new engine in it .... or drive it until the extra end float causes a problem !

As the washer protects the alloy crank carrier from wear, I don't think ignoring it is a long term option..............
