From what I've heard, what you really want is a bushing, since those bearings aren't reliable.

i beg to differ, knock on wood, I have three gallons of fuel on one thrust bearing. My current motor has not had the bearing replaced in two almost two seasons (it has never been replaced). The bushings almost require more work as the assembly needs to be constantly reshimmed as it wears.

i have the bearing and washers.but depending on what you want to do with it?...........the washers i would use in my car they are a little discoloured, as im sure they were pretty hot but i think they would still work , still nice and smoth on the bearing side
