Paul,
yes, that's a possibility because the back is flat with no relief
grooves to let the oil in and there's no bearing material, just steel on
steel. Also, don't throw away the old thrust washers when rebuilding
your engine. I reuse a good thrust washer for the front thrust and a new
one for the rear thrust. It's only the rear one that wears anyway.
