It is just too complicated to entwine it all in a motor mount cage and still have a way to disassemble critical parts and maintain it all (without removing the mount or main parts of the engine) until you have all the pieces arranged so that they work together first. And you still will probably forget critical items even if you do that. I seem to find them all the time! And, remember, turbo shaft end play and side play depend on the oil cushion pumped into the bearing under pressure. Your turbo may be fine once oil is in there!!! Don't jump to conclusions. =A0=20 [Marc Wiese]=20 =A0 =A0
