Visually inspect the thrust bearings for cracks or damage at the locating notch.
Measure the thrust bearing thickness. Measure the bearings in areas that show visible wear.
NOTE: Thrust bearings are available in 0.25 mm [0.010-inch] and 0.51 mm [0.020-inch] oversize thicknesses.
In an assembled engine, the crankshaft end clearance must be 0.10 mm to 0.58 mm [0.004 inch to 0.023-inch].
Refer to Engine Assembly in Procedure 00-02.
