Trust washers (f4r)



Hello!
So, last week drove over a rock in the road, and unfortunately it made a crack on the sump. Today I’ve managed to take the sump out, and found 2 trust washers on the bottom, one intact and another one bended.

My main question is, how f$cked I am?

Can they by put in place without disassemble the hole engine?

It's chewed up and spat out the crankshaft thrust bearing??

That engine sounds fucked.
 
One of them looks pretty ok, the other one is a little bend.

No symptoms of anything, engine working and pulling OK.
I just found them when I took of the sump.

Surely without the thrust washers you'll have epic crank walk? Have you checked end-float?

If it's chewed itself up there's no point putting new ones in, it's done.

Take a look near the crank if you can see them. Maybe someone forget about them:))
 
Today I took the plastic cover with the oil pump atached. Unfortunately, they were not forgotten.

I can see the spaces were they should be.
On the oil pump side I can see a circular scuff on the block, caused by the crankshaft rubbing against the surface.

R3k1355 was right, it’s done.
