6D170 Thrust Washer 6162-23-8050 Suitable for Komatsu Engine Parts

Product Details

Product Overview

This 6D170 Thrust Washer (Part Number: 6162-23-8050) is a precision engine component designed for use in Komatsu diesel engines. As a critical part of the engine’s crankshaft assembly, the thrust washer controls axial end-play, preventing excessive movement that can lead to premature wear of bearings, connecting rods, and the crankshaft itself.

Manufactured by to OEM specifications, this thrust washer is engineered for durability and long service life. It is commonly used in heavy-duty applications such as excavators, loaders, bulldozers, forklifts, trucks, and buses. While primarily designed for the Komatsu 6D170 engine model, it may also be compatible with other engine platforms that utilize the same thrust washer dimensions. We recommend verifying fitment with your specific engine model or comparing with your original part before installation.

FAQ

Q: How do I know this thrust washer (6162-23-8050) will fit my Komatsu 6D170 engine?
A: This part is manufactured to the exact OEM specifications for the Komatsu 6D170 engine. To confirm fitment, we recommend comparing the part number (6162-23-8050) with your original component. You can also measure the inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness of your old thrust washer to ensure they match the dimensions of this replacement part. If you have any doubts, please contact us with your engine serial number for further verification.

Q: What are the signs that my thrust washer needs replacement?
A: Common symptoms of a worn thrust washer include excessive crankshaft end-play (detected by a knocking sound or vibration), low oil pressure, and metal shavings in the engine oil. If you are rebuilding a 6D170 engine or replacing the crankshaft bearings, it is highly recommended to replace the thrust washer as a preventative measure, as it is a low-cost component that can prevent expensive damage.

Q: Can this thrust washer be installed without special tools?
A: While installation of a thrust washer is generally straightforward, it requires careful alignment and proper clearance checking. For the Komatsu 6D170 engine, the thrust washer is typically fitted onto the crankshaft journal. We strongly recommend that installation be performed by a qualified diesel mechanic or technician who has access to the correct service manual and measuring tools (e.g., feeler gauges, dial indicator) to verify the end-play after installation. Incorrect installation can lead to premature failure.
