Hello Cyrus:

Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool and I can Only Answer Questions from the Question Pool when I am Not Answering Questions here or at the Other Site I Answer Questions at and I am on Vacation and had a Few Minutes to Answer some Questions. The Thrust Washer goes on Top of the Flywheel and if it is a Convex/Concave Thrust Washer; the Washer is Placed so the Raised Center is Facing Away from the Flywheel. The Torque for the Flywheel Nut can be Located at this Site Addy; http://www.johnfvining.com/engine_specs/briggs_fly_torque.asp . The Torque fro this Engine is Listed as 60 Foot Pounds. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Engine at this Site Addy; http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/manual_and_more/doclist.aspx?categ... and Enter the Model Numbers (XXXXXX) and the First 4 Type Numbers (XXXX) in the Appropriate Boxes and Click GO. Then Select Download PDF. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

John
