shaft movement
Iv'e recently replaced the front bearing in my wren 54 mk2.When checking it out to make sure everything was right I noticed that when I pushed
forward on the turbine wheel,that the compressor wheel touched the intake.My question is that normal for it to do that?.I really never checked that before so i dont know if it's supposed to do that.I started the turbine and everything looks good and runs well.I just don't know if that movement is right.Anyone know?Thanks

RE: shaft movement
Normal observation. We refer to this as "end float" The tension from the spring in the shaft tunnel stops the shaft assembly from shifting forward in excess...which would then result in a "rub"....not good!! End float should measure between .009 and .014.
