Clevite TW-551S Engine Crankshaft Thrust Washer Set

The Clevite TW-551S is a precision-engineered crankshaft thrust washer set designed to control crankshaft endplay and prevent axial movement in high-performance and racing engines. This set includes 2 thrust washers that install on either side of the thrust bearing to maintain proper crankshaft positioning.

Key Features:

• Includes 2 precision-ground thrust washers for complete installation
• Engineered to Clevite's exacting tolerances for optimal crankshaft endplay control
• Compatible with Clevite's full range of performance bearing series (P-Series, H-Series, K-Series, V-Series, M-Series)
• Hardened construction resists wear under high-load racing conditions
• Prevents crankshaft walk and maintains proper axial clearance

Thrust washers are critical components that absorb axial forces generated by clutch engagement, torque converter loading, and engine operation. The TW-551S washers work in conjunction with your main bearing set to ensure the crankshaft remains properly centered within the engine block. Proper thrust washer selection and installation is essential for preventing catastrophic engine damage from excessive crankshaft endplay.

This thrust washer set is manufactured to the same high standards as Clevite's legendary TriMetal bearings, making it suitable for stock rebuilds, performance street engines, and full competition applications. Always verify crankshaft endplay specifications and measure carefully during assembly to ensure proper clearances.
