Note: T.W.'s come in various sizes. If you put in one standard and one
.005 over thrust washer, you reduce end-float by .005. If you put in two
.005 over T.W.'s, you take up .010 of end-float. By "mixing and
matching", you can take up just about and play in the crank.
My question is how can you tell what size thrust washers were fitted to the
engine. The washers from my TR250 show very little wear and yet there is quite
a bit of free play in the crank. Is the thickness of the standard washer in
the manual? The engine was rebuilt 15k ago by the PO but I question how good of
a job he did (found 3 broken rings just off the bat).
