New quad! I also need piston washers made...

[axellmusic19]

I just bought a new 1988 lt250r with leager arms and fmf exhaust along with +4 hubs on back so my race bike will be even more set with goody parts. The only thing is, I still want to set up the new quad with stock running parts for my dad and the engine needs the wrist pin bearing washers. I've had my race engine converted with aluminum ones and an rm250 bearing but I have the bearing off an rm250 ready for the new engine but I can't get a hold of anyone who has the washers. Please let me know! Thanks!

whats the deal with the thrust washers? are they only on certian years or all of them? ive rebuilt my motor a couple times and never noticed any washers.

If you have a 1991 LT with stock piston, def should have the thrust washers. When I sent my cylinder to LRD years ago, they eliminate the thrust washers by using a piston for aTRX250R. That works up to .040 overbore. Larger than that a piston for a YZ250 is used.

So if yours doesn't have thrust washers, maybe this was done?

hmm its only been bored over a few times i think im a 68.25mm right now, and i always use wiseco pistons but even the first time i rebuilt it there were no washers in there

Don't worry about the piston thrust washers. They are not needed. Over time they stress crack and break.
