rhasler Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Those are thrust washers. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18346-em6-285-crank-shims-mystery/#findComment-74482 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pins in the cap hold the lower thrust washers in place, the crankcase is machined to hold the upper washers in place against the thrust surface of the crank. Once the cap is installed, the pinned lower washers keep the uppers from turning.
