Re: what's the normal amount of lateral play on a new turbo Posted by 900 Aero [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: what's the normal amount of lateral play on a new turbo, PierreB, Sat, 25 Apr 2009 14:47:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A typical new spec. automotive sized plain bearing turbo has approx..0035" of clearance on the outside and .0015" on the inside of their floating bearings so remember that by the time you're out to the end of the shaft (especially on the compressor end) that it probably is almost a half mm. That play also feels like a lot if the turbo was assembled with a thinner lubricant than the Torco assembly lube that I use. If you still feel that yours has too much play email me back and I'll get an exact measurement off of one of my fresh better than new spec. turbos.
