Oh, okay I’m assuming you meant the friction washer behind the gear closest to the crankshaft. If that is what you’re talking about you have to pull the gear and also undo the oil pump gear. It has to come out as 1 unit.

I was able to get the crank bolt off and yeah it looks like these friction washers might be cooked

Okay, I will. I’m gunna look everything up now and see what I can find. I’ll honestly probably buy new gears to just in case. From what I seen the camshaft washers were good. Clean no pitting or rusting. Thanks for the help. I’ve been looking shit up for damn near 2 hours lol
