4AD Crankshaft thrust washers

Post by ggvette »

Finally getting my 4AD engine back together, naturally I have forgotten a couple of things.
My problem at the moment is the crankshaft thrust washers.I have the two half washers
with tabs which fit into the rear main bearing cap.
However there appears to be provision for a further "half washer" which would go into a recess in the block.
I have never noticed these two without tabs, perhaps they were missed last time the engine worked on.
At any rate, can anyone confirm that there are indeed four thrust half washers needed, and of course where one
might find them.
Thank :D You
