&s_12a_13b.htm=20 =20 Good boy :-) =20 I don't know what the "gum" is, but it sure sounds like it came from the exhaust. Perhaps it could be the leftovers from burnt oil, or coolant. Just don't know.

wrong=20 again. My caps lock was on. Sorry.

Man, = sure had to sort=20 through a lot of bad URL's =20 :-) <= /FONT>

It's normal to = have some=20 side to side play in the turbo shaft, but there should not be any end to = end=20 play. It was explained to me that the shaft runs on a layer of = oil, so it=20 has some slop when there's no oil flow. Not a perfect explanation, = but I=20 can live with it. The wheel should not be able to touch the wall = of the=20 turbo housing due to side play. If it can, I'd suspect that's = bad. =20

I'm pricing a rebuilt turbo with = modifications as=20 described in http://www= .turbonetics.com.au/ATS_p&s_12a_13b.htm=20

Good boy=20 :-)
