ME071163 Thrust Washer 6D14 6D17 for Mitsubishi Engine | Construction & Industrial Parts

Product Details

Product Overview

This high-precision thrust washer, identified by OEM part number ME071163, is specifically designed to fit the crankshaft assembly of Mitsubishi 6D14 and 6D17 diesel engines. As a critical component for controlling axial crankshaft end-play, this washer ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your engine’s rotating assembly.

Manufactured to original equipment size specifications, this thrust washer is an ideal replacement for engines commonly found in heavy construction machinery, industrial power units, agricultural equipment, marine propulsion systems, and generator sets. Available from, this part is built to restore your engine to peak performance after a rebuild or scheduled maintenance.

Note: While this part is designed to match OEM specifications for the 6D14 and 6D17 models, we recommend verifying your specific engine serial number and crankshaft clearance requirements before installation to ensure a perfect fit.

Key Features & Benefits

• OEM Equivalent Fitment: Direct replacement for Mitsubishi part number ME071163, ensuring compatibility with your 6D14 or 6D17 engine block.
• Precision Engineering: Machined to strict OEM size tolerances to maintain correct crankshaft end-play, reducing vibration and preventing premature bearing wear.
• Durable Material Construction: Manufactured from high-grade, wear-resistant material to withstand the high axial loads and operating pressures of heavy-duty diesel applications.
• Extended Engine Life: Proper thrust washer installation prevents metal-to-metal contact between the crankshaft and engine block, protecting your investment from catastrophic failure.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of equipment including excavators, bulldozers, tractors, marine engines, and industrial generators powered by Mitsubishi 6D14/6D17 series engines.
• Ready to Install: Supplied as a single piece, carefully packed to prevent damage during transit. No modifications required for standard fitment.

Technical Specifications

OEM Cross-Reference

This thrust washer is a direct cross-reference for the following original equipment manufacturer numbers. Always verify your old part against these numbers before ordering.

• Mitsubishi: ME071163
• Alternative References: This part may also be listed under generic aftermarket numbers for 6D14/6D17 engine rebuild kits. If your kit includes a thrust washer, compare the physical dimensions to ensure it matches ME071163.

Note: This is a direct replacement for the original Mitsubishi part. No other OEM cross-references are available for this specific application.

Compatibility

This thrust washer is specifically designed for use in the following engine platforms. Fitment to specific vehicles or machinery is based on the engine model.

• Engine Models: Mitsubishi 6D14, Mitsubishi 6D17
• Common Applications (Inferred):
  • Construction: Excavators, Bulldozers, Wheel Loaders (e.g., models using 6D14/6D17 powerplants)
  • Industrial: Forklifts, Air Compressors, Industrial Pumps
  • Agriculture: Tractors, Harvesters, Sprayers
  • Marine: Pleasure craft and workboat auxiliary engines
  • Power Generation: Standby and prime power generator sets
  • Material Handling: Crane power units, heavy forklifts

Important: Always confirm your engine model (6D14 or 6D17) and the condition of your old thrust washer before purchasing. This part is for the crankshaft main bearing area, not for transmission or differential applications.

FAQ

Q: How do I know if this thrust washer (ME071163) fits my engine?

A: First, confirm your engine model is a Mitsubishi 6D14 or 6D17. You can find this on the engine data plate or stamped on the engine block. Second, remove your old thrust washer and compare the physical dimensions (inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness) to the new part. The part number ME071163 is the definitive identifier for this specific washer. If your old part has a different number, please contact us for cross-reference assistance.

Q: Can I replace the thrust washer without removing the engine?

A: Replacing the crankshaft thrust washer typically requires removing the oil pan and the main bearing caps. While it is possible to do this with the engine in the machine (depending on accessibility), it is a complex job. We strongly recommend performing this replacement during a full engine rebuild or a bottom-end overhaul to ensure proper clearance and to replace other worn bearings simultaneously. Always refer to the Mitsubishi service manual for your specific engine model for torque specifications and clearance procedures.

Q: What happens if I install the wrong size thrust washer?

A: Using an incorrect thrust washer can have severe consequences. If it is too thick, it can bind the crankshaft, causing immediate seizure or bearing failure. If it is too thin, excessive end-play will occur, leading to severe vibration, misalignment of the connecting rods, and potential damage to the crankshaft thrust faces and main bearings. Always measure the end-play with a dial indicator after installation and ensure it falls within the factory specification (typically 0.10mm to 0.30mm for these engines).
