description

The 217-7174 is installed between camshaft thrust face and housing. It is a wear-resistant thrust pad that takes axial load and controls camshaft end play. Vibration and contaminated oil cause scoring, wear and coating peeling. Excessive clearance leads to gear noise, timing shift and severe valve collision. Its thickness, profile and coating are application-specific, not interchangeable with other thrust sliders.

3. Anti-scuffing design offers protection under temporary oil starvation
4. Direct replacement, no hand grinding required during overhaul

FAQ 

1. Can worn 217-7174 be reground and reused?
Not recommended. Grinding changes thickness and causes out-of-spec end play.

2. Replace slider only without checking camshaft?
No. Scored cam thrust face will destroy the new slider quickly.

3. Is this the same as camshaft thrust washer?
Similar function but different dimension and part number, not interchangeable.

4. Special grease required for assembly?
Clean engine oil is recommended. High temp grease may carbonize and cause binding.
