shaft play
Monday, April 17, 2006 4:41 PM
I have had this turbo (t3-super60) for less than a year with about 1000 miles on it at very most, and bought it from j-turners presently, previously cavalier connection. When I first got this I dont' remember any shaft play, I am changing my plugs and noticed that theier is a very very small play on the turbine/shaft. is this normal? and do I need to worry about anything? maybe I'm just parinoid.

thanks.

Its fine, it needs a tiny bit of shaft play so the oil can work into the bearings. As long as it doesn't go so far as to contact the housing, its not a problem.
