The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Inserted B motor thrust washer help needed.

BIG KEV · 03-30-2023, 05:33 PM

So I have a destroyed thrust washer in my b motor. I ordered a set of thrust washers from Mikes. Got them in today. Wrong size. I know there are some variations out there on this stuff, and here we are...

So it looks like thickness is correct. .25" What I removed was .2145, yeah that worn out but was not giving any issues.

The Id is good. 2.00 " and what I removed was 1.94
The OD is way out. 2.88 and what I removed was 2.59

Does anyone have a way to get the correct size. Or do I need to tear this motor down all the way and open the rear thrust surface cutout up to accept these washers?

I don't have a lathe or machine shop in my garage so I am a bit limited.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
