Greetings,
Would someone please comment on the suitability of a needle thrust bearing and washer assembly replacing a damaged thrust bushing in a high RPM internal combustion engine. I envision machining a new thrust face at the front of the block and stacking the components (Torrington FNTA6085) over the nose of the crank on assembly.
This would be splash lubricated with 240F synthetic oil.
I'm concerned with the accleration the needles would face when the clutch is pressed, essentialling going from static to 8000 RPM.
Is this an appropriate application and will splash oiling be adequate for the intermittent loads and accleration?
Thanx in advance, Steve
