Thrust washers! Need Help!!

[khop2131]

Well discovered my 1jz has crank walk, so i got everything tore down to put new washers in crank. . my question is where do these damn things go?? Does anyone have any pics or a writeup on replacing these thrust washers?? any info would be greatly appreciated!!

They go on the middle main cap.

Look at the 2JZ TRSM... Tells you how to install them in the proper orientation...

 

[shipkiller]

would changing the thrust washer be as good as new or will it crankwalk within a few hundred miles?

 

[hvyman]

Depends if there is damage to the block or crank.

There also is a spec for the gap between crank and thrust washer.

oh alright. is it easier to take crank right out or can i replace the washers with crank left in?

 

[Satan]

I believe I set them in place, using some assembly lube, as I set the crank onto the main bearings... block turned upside down... Basically, the crank's top bearings and thrust washers in place, as the crank is carefully lowered onto them. Helps to have someone else help... especially to keep the thrust washers from falling out of place.

Once that's done, put the other half of the set on, as you fasten the caps.

so you did take the crank out satan?

I replaced all the bearings (rod,main and thrust)with engine in the car.

Yes, but I was replacing rod/main bearings too. I'm not sure if you can install the thrust washers without lifting the crank, but I haven't tried that before.
