Clevite TW-589S Engine Crankshaft Thrust Washer Set

The Clevite TW-589S is a precision-engineered crankshaft thrust washer set designed to control crankshaft endplay and maintain proper axial positioning in high-performance and racing engines. This complete set includes 4 thrust washer pieces, providing front and rear thrust surfaces to prevent crankshaft walking and ensure reliable engine operation under extreme loads.

Key Features:

• Complete 4-piece thrust washer set for comprehensive crankshaft endplay control
• Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent performance
• High-quality materials engineered to withstand racing and high-performance applications
• Direct replacement design for simplified installation
• Compatible with Clevite bearing systems for optimal clearance matching

Thrust washers are critical components that absorb axial loads from the clutch engagement, transmission operation, and engine harmonics. The Clevite TW-589S set provides the durability and precision required for engines operating at elevated RPMs and under severe duty cycles. Proper thrust washer selection and installation is essential for preventing crankshaft endplay issues that can lead to bearing damage and catastrophic engine failure.

When installing thrust washers, always verify crankshaft endplay with a dial indicator to ensure clearances fall within manufacturer specifications. Clean all surfaces thoroughly and lubricate washers during assembly to prevent dry-start damage.
