[94 Daily Driven 4.6L]

I'm in the process of rebuilding a 4.6L for my 94 and have a quick question....Is the thrust bearing a standard thrust bearing (like in say a 5.0L) or is it a half thrust bearing, half standard bearing and a seperate thrust washer? All my Ford manuals show just normal thrust bearings, but the bearings I bought for a "W" VIN engine have the thrust washer. The engine I am using came out of a 95 Crown Vic Police car and it appears to have the thrust washer. So I'm confused..... Please help....

I believe it is the two piece with that half moon bearing.

That's what I thought....Thanks.

Thanks Richard! I just wanted a double ckeck since I've never opened up the bottom end of a T'Bird 4.6L (or any 4.6L for that matter!!). None of the Ford manuals metion anything about the half moon washer.
