Thrust bearings are often incorporated into one of the main bearing shells, i.e. the inside of the shell forms the main bearing, and it has an additional thrust surface on either end of the bearing which runs between 2 faces machined on the crankshaft.

Haynes manual gives maximum crank endfloat for the V6 as 0.05-0.15mm.

Bit like this:



Thrust bearing top left, regular bearings are the rest..
