45091, Shaft play?
Posted by Mr Mike, Mar-20-03 05:07 AM
How much shaft play is considered alot? I have no endplay and a very small amount of side play. I was planning on rebiulding the turbo, but now that I have it apart I'm having second thoughts because it looks to be in pretty good condition.

The side to side play should be small. it will move enough for you to notice, but not much more. Thrust play should be so small you can't feel it with your fingers.

Hey Darkone.
I am planning to rebuild my engine.
From your posting picture (GIF) it seems like you rebuilt your engine before right?
Can you send me all the pictures you took from your rebuild so I can have some idea of what's will happen and look like when I do it?
I will be very appreciated with any help from you!
Thanks.

My turbo has around 3000 miles on it and it has quite a bit of shaft play. I'll check again tommrow to make sure. Hope it aint beat.
