Thrust washers??
 

Well, im installing some pistons and rods in my d16z6. I got them in but on one side of the crank, the trust washer doesnt fit in the gap. What do i do?

Did you install the thrustwashers first and then lower the crank in or are you trying to squeeze them in there after the crank is laid in place?

i'm trying to squeez them in there.

try putting them on with the crank out of the car...or maybe get a prybar and pry on one of the counter weights to slightly move the crank so u can get the other trust bearing in there.hth

Is the engine still in the car? If not, why don't you remove the crank, install the thrustwashers, and then drop the crank back in?

Thats what you will have to do...They are next to impossible to get in with the crank in. I have done it before but I don't care to explain how I did.

Pull the main cap from the journal that holds the thrusts. The same way you slid the old ones out you should be able to slide the new ones in. If they are too tight to go in, something else is wrong.

all you have to do is tap on one side of the crank so it slides the direction you need it to for more clearance.

do what earl said then rotate the crank with the cam gear. If you tap on one side and get one in then the other one is gonna be hard as hell to get in. But it's not like theres much else you can do.
