Neil- the size of thrust washers is determined once you get into the engine.
The best way is to remove the ones you have after measuring end-float,
measure them, then measure the thickness of the new standard thrust washers.
If the difference doesn't leave you .004 to .008, then you need to go with
larger sizes. I know we use one stnd and one .005 in our 1300. Hope this
helps
