I started installing the thrust washers, bearings and all to check the front
end play. But I don't remember having such a big space in between the plate
and the parts under it. I took a sequence of photos of the individual parts.
Does this look normal?

Thanks

I am no 20B expert by a long shot.
Do you have the 3rd gen RX7 engine manual?

Looks like the purple spacer is too thin. They come in different thicknesses.

Down load the 1991-93 shop manual from here and read up on the
thrust bearing installation. It should be the same as the 3 rotor.

From the thinnest to the thickest is only .12" but that
looks like more than .12". One side of the spacer is
chamfered are you sure that chamfer is towards
the engine?
