you would get slight play side to side until its fitted and oil pressure takes up the small gap.. the turbine shaft kind of floats in a film of oil.

i bought one of these a year ago with intention of fitting it to my engine i been re building but i lost track and its been sat in the origonal packaging from when it was sent to me. there was no play in it wot so ever but now i have come to fit it i have noticed play in the shft from side to side but no play in and out. correct me if im wrong but that aint never right? :undecided:

any advice on this matter please chaps? want to fit it but dunno if the play is a major issue.

IIRC its the play in and out that you dont want play side to side is normal until filled with oil then the gap is taken up but someone correct me if im wrong sure thats right  :shocked:
