Question:
the crankshaft is supported in the block by a series of thrust bearings.
Is this true or not.
Answers:

No.Thrust bearings are for lateral (side to side) movement clearance.
Steering wheel is shaking when I brake at varying speeds; wheel alignment?
A thrust bearing is a particular type of rotary bearing. Like other rotary bearings they permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a high axial load while doing this.

Not a SERIES of thrust bearings, although many motors (most if not all) have at least one thrust bearing. For most motors this is either the center bearing, or on one end or the other. The crankshaft is supported by the main bearing caps and the webbing of the block itself (also called the saddles.) The bearings themselves are laid into the main bearing caps and main bearing saddles when assembling an engine. The standard bearings are shaped so they only come into contact with one surface of the cap or saddle (the curved area towards the crank), whereas the thrust bearing comes into contact with three sides of the cap or saddle (the side towards the crank as well as the forward and rearward faces.)Hope this clears up the confusion. Good luck!
