[TR] Thrust washers.

[David Brister]

I would be grateful for the wisdom of the list on the matter of the thrust 
washers in my TR4A. Sometime ago I crowbarred the crankshaft back and forth 
and it seemed to have significant endplay. Eventually I obtained a dial 
gauge and the fixings and measured the play accurately at .0075". Since the 
sump gasket was leaking a bit more than I like I have dropped it to fix  the 
joint. Whilst there I have dropped the centre main bearing cap and removed 
the thrust washers which both seem barely worn and are .0925" thick as 
specified in the Moss catalogue.
The centre main journal and cap bearing shell are in excellent condition and 
the oil pressure runs as book in all weathers. Do listers think I should 
obtain oversize washers and grind them down to .0935 to bring the endfloat 
to .005? Or shall I just put it all back as it is!
TIA.
