Hi moby1154,

Thank you for the donation.

The thrust washers are placed between the 3rd cylinder crank journals. If you look up from below, you would notice that there is a larger gap at that area. Use a screwdriver to pry the crankshaft either forward or backwards to enable easier installaton of the washers.

Ensure that the groved sides are facing the crankshaft ( moving part) while installing.
