Doc,
Sorry to hear about your smoking issues!
The turbocharger could be the potential culprit of this smoke and you could easily rebuild your own turbocharger with the proper components.
We currently offer a DIY rebuild kit which comes with new oil seals, bearings, thrust components (thrust bearing and collar), gaskets, etc. and you will prob. be suprised at the simplicity of such a rebuild. You can also use the 360 degree oil seal for even better oil retention.
Some shaft movement (up and down) will be normal for any sleeve bearing turbocharger. The movement should be minimal and there should be no interference with the compressor wheel to it's respective housing (same at the turbine to turbine housing).
Movement on the shaft that allows for an in and out motion indicates thrust which should be addressed immediately(replacement of the thrust collar and bearing) before substantial damage can occur.
Best of luck and regards,
Gary K at SWEDISH DYNAMICS,INC.
