Hi Pete....
Yeah....I'm thinking the same thing. I think I'm gonna order 8 of the Thrust washers and 4 of the Thrust bearings (just in case they fall apart). Worst case is I'll have extras for my parts inventory .

"just in case they fall apart"

My recommendation would be to double your numbers of how many to get. Here's my reasoning:

They're relatively cheap
They won't spoil or go bad in your parts drawer
You might someday purchase an engine with the same issue
During reassembly, when one squirts out your grease-covered fingers and flies in a graceful arc to some location that's completely inaccessible ... or completely invisible ... or both, your family won't have to hear those special words sometimes heard in the train room.

Don't ask me how I know...
