I guess that I have rebuilt around one hundred Big Healey engines over the years and most of the time the thrust washers have very little wear. But the last two engines were a little different. On one engine, someone installed the washers backwards. The block will be fine but the crankshaft will have to be repaired. But the other engine had no thrust washers at all! This one damaged the main cap more than the crankshaft. Both engines were bored and the new pistons hardly had any carbon on top so there were very few miles put on these engines. I guess each owner suspected a problem and parked the car. (Both have been parked for about twenty years)
