Thrust Bearing
- With crankshaft bearing caps installed, check thrust clearance (end play) using dial gauge to read displacement in axial thrust direction of crankshaft.
- Standard thickness of thrust bearing is .0984" (2.50 mm). Oversize thrust bearings are available in increments of .0049" (.125 mm). If clearance exceeds specification, replace thrust bearing. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
