Turbo Check
After removing my turbo I ckecked end play and it was in spec but seems to have a lot of up and down play. The manual I have dose not give specs for radial play. Any idea what it can be???

it had enough wear at 60k that it didn't work good and at about 114k started hitting the housing,so yes at 112k it could very well need rebuilding

any side play indicates it needs a rebuild. save lots of other problems and get a kit into it now.

Its done. But guess what. The rebuild did nothing for side play. It took the end play down to .001 but the worst sideplay was .018 TIR. And after some looking I just cant seem to get someone to peg dow the sideplay specs for my turbo. You can get oversize bearings to bring the play down to specs but what the f!@k are they!!!!!! I did the rebuild, its in the truck, every thing seems to be ok, but it bugs the crap out of me to know everything may not be perfect. And we all know what will happen if the wheel hits the housing. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Wish me luck............................
