Thrust Washers Comment

["Steve Nabors" <topdown@eudoramail.com>]

Maybe my thrust washers are worn(although they dont look it) but the whole 
concept of the way they are loosely held in place and allowed to slosh around 
in that slot really makes you wonder what were they thinking when they came up 
with this design. I realize the load is inline with the engine and you want a 
bit of 'slosh' but the slop seems too big.

Its no wonder they wear on the ends(since their only half washers).

Its no wonder they end up in the oil pan.
