anyone heard of these? Seem like a very viable solution to my problem. Seems many TR6 guys use em. Theory sounds great... that even after the ridges cut in the crank seat, the washer will still be made of a bronze bearing material. Unlike teh steel ones, When the ridges seat on a stock one it will cut threw the alloy and be steel on steel causing heat and failure. Seems my ideal situation would be fit and oversize rear TW and drive it 100 miles or so. Than re-check end float and install a new thicker TW on the front side to make up the difference leaving the seated rear TW...... Thoughts?

Haven't heard of them, but I think the solution to your problem, would be to install thrust washers with the bearing surface next to the crankshaft. You could of course decide if the wear properties of the chosen bearing is good enough for the long term. I think those solid bronze bearings are probably just the ticket.
