Axial play on pump shaft?
« on: August 13, 2016, 10:45:39 pm »
Is there a axial play measurement for the bosch pump?  I picked up a LR pump and see some play in the mainshaft axially only when I turn the pump by hand.  but I caint find the stock spec anywhere.  Here is a video.

There is normally some play.  I don't know what the spec is.  The video looks normal.

Thanks.  Since I couldent find a solid answer a few months ago I decided to ETdi my swap since I had a good complete running car.  But knowing this play is normal I will probably do a comparison between E and Mtdi.  Id like to be able to switch between the 2 if needed.
