Next weekend I am going to pull my oil pan of my TR-6 to finally fix a nagging
oil leak (guess I didn't true up the oil pan flange very well)!
Anyway, while I'm down there I thought I would take a peek at the
thrust-washers to make sure I installed them the correct way around, as the
Bentley and Haynes manuals are somewhat confusing. And I can't remenber.
After reviewing the VTR page and several old list e-mails on this subject, I
guess I'm kind of dense as I'm still not 100% clear on which way the oil
grooves on the thrust washers are supposed to go.
I believe that the oil groove for the front thrust washer goes toward the front
of the engine; the oil groove for the rear thrust washer goes toward the back
(flywheel) end of the engine. Is this correct?
Thanks.
