Hey tuners,
Getting into the rebuild and had a question around thrust bearings. I searched but wasn’t sure I found the correct answer.
I appreciate it.
Feeling pretty good just running into a question with the thrust bearing.
My understanding is 97+ came with 3 piece bearings which was basically a main bearing and 2 thrust washers.
However when I pulled everything apart it looks like this is the 1 piece thrust bearing style. I have no evidence to think this motor has ever been torn into and replaced so I guess I’m wondering if the 97-98 years came with either option depending on the build date.
I ordered parts and this is what came which is the 3 piece for 98s.
Upon researching the 2 are not interchangeable so I will need to get the right bearings, but just wanted some people’s opinion who have torn in these before.
