Material Copper-lead alloy |
Application L-134 Go Devil engine |
|
Function Controls crankshaft axial play |
Component type Crankshaft thrust washer |
Features
- Controls axial movement of the crankshaft
- Prevents excessive endplay (fore/aft play)
- Protects engine block from wear
- Essential during engine overhaul
- Precision engineering for correct clearance
★ High-quality reproduction manufactured to original specifications. Indispensable component for any thorough engine overhaul to ensure correct crankshaft clearance.
Installation notes
Fitted between the crankshaft and engine block at the main bearing. Controls the axial play (endplay) which should be 0.004"–0.006" according to specification. Always measure the clearance after assembly using a dial indicator or feeler gauge before starting the engine.
Compatibility
Suitable for both chain-driven (early) and gear-driven (late) variants of the L-134 engine. Note: always check the existing clearance — too tight or too loose causes crankshaft and bearing damage.
Historical context
The L-134 Go Devil engine used thrust washers to control crankshaft axial position, particularly critical during clutch operation when the crankshaft is pushed forward. This precision component was essential for engine reliability under severe military conditions.
