Hi,
I finally received my L28ET engine in a crate. Here are some questions :
1) The seller said it is an 81ZXT, but when I checked the distributor, the dizzy has a cable leading to a round plug(4 connectors inside). There is also a shiny disk(CAS disk?) inside the dizzy. Result of searching says the dizzy is a later/better dizzy with CAS inside the distributor. One of the FAQ thread mentioned that 81ZXT harness has "dropping resistor plugs" but no picture of the plugs is shown. How do I tell whether my ENGINE is 81 or later, and is there any disadvantages compared to 82~83 engines. I ask this because the seller may have upgraded to a 82~83 dizzy and this engine is indeed an 81.
2) The seller gave me 2 turbos, with one attached to the complete engine and one spare. On the spare turbo, there is no longitudal play (shaft doesn't move in or out) but there is some sideway play, about 0.5mm~0.75mm (0.020"~0.030"). The compressor fins look perfect and there is no damage in the compressor housing. What is the acceptable specs for stock turbo shaft play? If I need a rebuild kit, where is the place to get one(I live on the west side of the continent).
Thanks in advance.
