From the "Suzuki Sc**w Ups" section of the legendary LT500 RX by Dr. Q...

SU#7) Those wonderful wrist pin washers. These are a real sore point w/me. These are made of case hardened steel and are prone to fracture when left in the motor for any length of time or exposed to detonation.They are a necessary evil however. Many come out of the box w/microscopic cracks that eventually lead to failure and ruining your nice cylinder/head.
Rx#7) No real good answer. We used to have hardened alloy washers made and use an RM250 wrist pin bearing. I have also sent them out for x-raying before using. (about 15% of the batches we sent were NO GOOD!) I may make the alloy ones again. Even if they break (none ever did) they won't tear up the motor too bad.
