Ok guise I've searched and everyone talks about horizontal shaft play (in and out). Mine's perfectly tight that way but it does move slightly up and down. Is this something to be concerned about?

 

There is actually an acceptable range of "vertical" movement.. I can get you the specs if youd like to measure.. Slight movement is nothing to be concerned of, just make sure the compressor blades aren't hitting the housing.

 

not a concern , when running the oil pressure floats the shaft

 

Thanks guys, yea it's very minimal but it doesn't hurt to ask before I put everything back together. Blades definitely aren't touching the housing.

 

Sounds like you are good. A couple mm up and down are ok if it is not touching at all or smoking before you took it apart.

 

Nope no smoking or anything.
