Journal bearing turbo shaft play with/without oil pressure


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd do a little experiment while I had the pressure primer out, since I'm one of those people who always wonders how much radial shaft play is too much for an unpressurized journal bearing turbo. Here's a BNR 16G, with zero axial play but enough radial play for the compressor blades to touch the housing. Hope someone finds it interesting!
