Hi are the thrust plate bearings reusable. The bearings I am planning to use has no scoring on the needle bearings.
Thanks

yes. i recommend you look at them carefully w a 10X loupe and if they are not heat discolored or scored they are good to go. do make sure you torque the front stack to 190 pounds to check endplay rather than follow the factory service manual which uses a lower number. it is important to end up around .0018.

Been a few years, but I don't recall the thrust bearing and washer being all that expensive...especially in the grand scheme of rebuild cost.

I looked at the bearings with a magnifying glass and there is no heat discoloration, or scoring, also I used a micrometer to compare the two sets I had and the bearings I am using have about a thousandths more material on the needle bearings than the other set I have.

This.

It's around $100-$150 to replace the whole front stack with new parts if I remember correctly.
