Clevite TW-583S Thrust Washer Set Performance Engine Main Bearing

The Clevite TW-583S is a precision-engineered thrust washer set designed for performance and racing engines. Thrust washers control crankshaft end play and are critical components in maintaining proper crankshaft positioning under high-load conditions.

Key Features:

• High-performance thrust washer construction for demanding applications
• Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances for accurate crankshaft positioning
• Designed to work with Clevite's P-Series, H-Series, K-Series, V-Series, and M-Series bearing systems
• Hardened steel construction for durability under extreme loads
• Engineered for racing and high-performance street engines

Application Notes:

This thrust washer set is compatible with Clevite's complete line of performance main bearing systems. Proper thrust washer selection and installation is essential for controlling crankshaft end play, which becomes increasingly critical in high-RPM and high-load engine applications. Excessive end play can lead to crankshaft walk, clutch engagement issues, and potential engine damage.

About Clevite Performance Bearings:

Clevite offers multiple bearing series to address specific performance needs. The P-Series features maximum eccentricity and full-groove oiling for extreme RPM applications. H-Series bearings provide medium eccentricity with enlarged chamfers for oversized crankshaft fillets, making them ideal for NASCAR and circle track racing. K-Series bearings incorporate TriArmor moly/graphite coating for superior wear protection. V-Series bearings utilize lead-indium overlay for enhanced conformability, while M-Series micro bearings offer exceptional conformability for engines experiencing severe crankshaft deflection.

All Clevite performance bearings feature high crush for maximum retention, reduced overlay thickness to prevent fatigue, and are manufactured without flash plating for optimal seating characteristics.
