I just bought my first geo metro. I was leaking oil aroung the oil pan so i removed it to reseal. I found a bent up thrust washer in the pan. I bought a new thrust washer set and installed it but there is still a lot of play in the crank shaft. I checked serveral places but cant find oversized thrust washers. Does anyone know where I can get them? Is there something else that may be causing the looseness? |

Thank you The play is side to side. Up and down is tight and the the main bearing on the cap I took off still looked good. It has about 1/8 of an inch of play. I'm afraid the new thrust washer will fall out. |

Carefully inspect the thrust surfaces on the crankshaft. If the thrust washers are damaged the crankshaft likely is also. |

I was thinking the same thing. I was just hoping someone made an oversized thrust washer to buy me some time. |

Ouch, it sounds like you have a case of crank walking going on. You can check out partsdinosaur.com and see if they sell and oversized one, but don't get your hopes up. |
