As the name suggests, we focus on manufacturing in stock and custom-made crankshaft thrust washer bearings for older model classic automobiles. We utilize the latest developments in material technology, and continually strive to provide a high quality product that results in excellent performance.

Twenty-five years ago we developed the very first solid alloy engine crankshaft thrust washer for the Triumph TR6 and GT6 inline six-cylinder engine to replace the problematic original style outdated part. We now have many satisfied customers and have since expanded to offer replacements for other Triumph engines, including those used in the TR2, TR3, TR4, TR4a, TR5, TR250, Spitfire, GT6, Herald, Vitesse, MG Midget 1500, TVR and more. We now manufacture solid alloy thrust washer sets for 1989 through 2005 Mazda Miata MX5 1.6 & 1.8 liter engines.

Our superior "race proven" product replaces the original, outdated thin-plated steel thrust washer that has a history of causing extensive engine damage when it fails. Unfortunately, this damage occurs with no prior warning signs to the driver of the vehicle. The material we use for our thrust washers was carefully chosen and thoroughly evaluated among other similar materials that were found to be less desirable for this application.

If you are the owner of an older model classic vehicle, it makes good sense to upgrade to a modern thrust washer that utilizes materials that were not available years ago.
