Crankshaft thrust washers control axial end-float of the crankshaft, preventing fore-and-aft movement within the engine block. This pair is sized at 0.005ins oversize, used during engine rebuilds where standard-size washers no longer maintain crankshaft end-float within tolerance - typically indicated by excessive clutch pedal travel or measurable crank movement beyond 0.003–0.008ins. Selecting the correct oversize is essential to restore proper clearance without over-constraining the crank. Key Features 0.005ins oversize thrust washers for correcting worn crankshaft thrust journal surfaces Supplied as a pair - both upper and lower halves required for a complete installation Suitable for Land Rover diesel and petrol engines including 200Tdi, 300Tdi, 2.5 Diesel NA, 2.5 Turbo Diesel, and 2.25 Petrol units Measure crankshaft end-float with a dial gauge before selecting oversize to confirm the correct grade is required Vehicle Fitment Fits Defender (1986–2006) 2.5 Diesel NA, 2.5 Turbo Diesel, 200Tdi and 300Tdi; Discovery 1 (1989–1998) 200Tdi and 300Tdi; Range Rover Classic 200Tdi and 300Tdi; and Series 3 2.25 Petrol.
