The Clevite 2003-2008 Chrysler 5.7L / 6.1L Hemi Thrust Washer Set is an engine-specific bearing component that cannot be assigned safe vehicle YMM from an engine family or displacement alone. Match manufacturer part number TW611S, engine family, block and crankshaft configuration, journal dimensions, bearing position, set quantity, size or undersize, coating, oil clearance, and every application note before ordering.

Key Features

• Load Handling: Supports heavy axial forces common in HEMI V8s, promoting better main bearing alignment and contact area for quieter operation and extended component life.
• Part Weight: 0.388 lbs (0.18 kg).
• Coating: Factory-applied for immediate protection during startup and sustained lubrication under high heat.
• Precision-machined from TM-77 tri-metal alloy (copper, lead, tin overlay on steel backing) for enhanced load-bearing capacity.
• Protective polymer coating to resist initial break-in scuffing and promote even oil film distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is vehicle fitment verification required?
Engine family, displacement, and vehicle YMM alone do not establish the correct bearing. Confirm the block, crankshaft, journal dimensions, bearing position, size, coating, clearance, and exact part number.

Should bearing clearance be measured during assembly?
Yes. Measure the journals and housing bores with calibrated tools, verify installed oil clearance against the engine builder’s specification, and never select a bearing only from the nominal engine description.

Are every bearing and installation item included?
Only the position, set quantity, size, coating, and components expressly identified for the exact part number are included. Fasteners, lubricant, measuring tools, seals, gaskets, and companion bearings may be separate.

Installation Instructions

Follow the current Clevite instructions and engine-builder specifications for this exact part number. Clean and measure every journal and housing bore, verify bearing position and oil-hole alignment, check installed clearance, use the specified lubricant and fastener procedure, confirm free rotation, prime the oiling system, and verify oil pressure before operation.
