Quick question guys, I was told it would be wise to order a few different size spacers for the front assembly stack just incase my freeplay is larger then factory spec. I have the K spacer right now BUT mazdatrix doesn't even show the K spacer not to mention all the letter spacers are for the 3rd gen front end? HMM?

Also, what do you consider a bad thrust washer plate? I have a small spot on the thrust plate that shows maybe 4 small thrust bearing indents fron the needle bearings. Not deep by any means but Mazdatrix recommends replacing the bearings, washer plate and main bearing plate. My main bearing plate looks fine with no "notches".

I agree, I would replace them, not to expensive but it may lead to some issues setting the endfloat. Bad endfloat = bad timing, certainly not but much but it is something that physically happens.

I've never seen a "K" spacer, maybe a "C", or an "A"? I've got an "E" sitting on my wall JIC the ones that I have are too short I can just machine it down but hand to fit.

Machining it down by hand consists of taking a piece of 320g DA paper and sticking it on my SS work bench and sanding it down in a figure 8 motion while rotating it, flipping sides, constantly checking it with the micrometer, etc etc etc.

What other tips did the MT vid have? I'm a little intrigued.
