I saw this in a TR6 engine the thrust washers slipped out and the crank
ate the cap surfaces. This was on an engine that had just been
overhauled by a unknown party. I figured it was one of two things either
the washers were installed wrong or they were not the right thickness to
thick or to thin. To thick they may have got hot and galled then were
whipped out or too thin and they let the crank pound them until they
came out. Jim E
