Clevite TW-679S Engine Crankshaft Thrust Washer Set

The Clevite TW-679S is a precision-engineered crankshaft thrust washer set designed to control crankshaft endplay and maintain proper axial positioning in high-performance and racing engines. Thrust washers are critical components that prevent excessive crankshaft movement along its axis, protecting the engine block and maintaining proper gear mesh and clutch alignment.

Key Features:

• Precision-manufactured thrust washer set for accurate crankshaft positioning
• High-quality construction designed for demanding performance applications
• Engineered to work seamlessly with Clevite bearing systems
• Controls crankshaft endplay to prevent engine damage
• Suitable for competition and high-performance street engines

Technical Overview:

Thrust washers work in conjunction with the main bearing system to manage the axial forces generated during engine operation. These forces are particularly significant during clutch engagement and disengagement in manual transmission vehicles, or during high-load acceleration and deceleration. The TW-679S set provides the durability and precision needed to handle these forces in modified and racing applications.

About Clevite Performance Bearings:

Clevite offers multiple bearing series designed for specific performance applications, including P-Series (maximum eccentricity for extreme RPM), H-Series (medium eccentricity for NASCAR and competition use), K-Series (TriArmor moly/graphite coating), V-Series (lead-indium overlay for conformability), and M-Series (thick babbitt lining for severe deflection conditions). Each series is engineered to address specific performance requirements and operating conditions.

Clevite thrust washers are manufactured to complement these bearing systems, ensuring complete rotating assembly integrity in demanding applications. Proper thrust washer selection and installation is essential for engine longevity and performance consistency.
