Sorry about pic size. All of them were shot the same size. Not sure why one is bigger. You were right about the cam shaft plastic. I only had 1 thrust washer and the one chewed up one. The fiche shows a total of 4. One on each side of the cam shafts.
What the fiche pictures in this case is irrelevant - most installations don't need any "thrust washers" at all.
Actually I think "shims" might be a better term to use here......
Dry fit the cam covers (bearings)
with gaskets, then measure the end play of the cam.
If it's out of spec (0.002"-0.014") and needs shims, try to use one on each side, if possible.
If it's "under" spec (too tight), try using an extra gasket on one side.
