can the thrust bearing washer fall out?

- Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:34 pm #52508 I have a d15b7 complete block minus head in my garage. someone is coming to buy it tomorrow. every once in a while I spray the cyl walls w/ wd40 and spin the crank a few times to keep it from getting too dry & starting to rust.

Well I was just spinning the crank tonight and I heard a "clink" from the bottom of the motor. Is there any way that could have been a thrust bearing/washer falling out? Can they some loose & fall out from spinning the motor the wrong way? I was turning the crank in both directions.

I can't think of anything else that would have make a "clink" noise from the bottom of the motor. :?
