Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

Was it a rebuild kit off ebay? BTW a old turbo is like a old motor you must check to see if you are going to need bigger bearings.

up and down play - thrust play

it will be fine after oil gets to it

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

i tried to put oil... same thing
:(

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

Pressurized oil.

And like they were saying parts wear down a bit over time and you may need oversized bearings to make up for the loss. You can put factory seals and bearings in and still have play.
