combined thrust washers???

Do these engines use thrust washers along the crank, and in how many places???

[lind4hl]

DO NOT USE COMBINED THRUST WASHERS!

[QuattroFever]

do they need thrust washers as standard with standard bearings?

Any one know if this is the right set of main's for a high power s2?

DO NOT FLUSH TOILET!

Sorry, couldn`t help my self

On a more serious note;

Do not use combined thrust washer with highperformance clutch on a daily driver.

Use whatever you want on fullblown race car engine. You`re going to overhaul it once a year, or at least every other year, so whatever you use will be just fine.

Reputable specialists should be able to source bearings from KS or Glyco - they are both well known brands with trusted reputation and many factory fitments. I posted excerpts from the KS catalog here before so you can source part numbers and double check oversize specs and sputter variants.

Which ones would you prefer, KOLBENSCHMIDT or GLYCO?

[Pirvu Eugen]

The oem ones..are Glyco.

[Thuppu]

Ok, thanks. I think I go with the same ones that Roy in post #40.
