Play in a brand new 16g?

[Nekoni]

I just bought a brand new Evo III 16g and it has a small amount of play it in, I'm just verifying this is a normal amount. I figured they probably wouldn't have sent it if it was abnormal but I just want to make sure.

that honestly seems like a bit much to me. you have to have at least 15thousandths of slack there and i have never seen one that does that. if its working fine now then hopefully it stays that way. but i would definetaly keep my eye on it

It is my understanding that the shaft play you have would be taken up by the oil once it is run through it.

Its normal... like cs4g63 saied. Once the oil line is hooked up and you start it, there wont be any shaft play after

When I first bought one a few years back I was asking myself the same question, I ended up putting 1500 HARD miles on it without issues before switching to a bigger one.

That's normal,there's no oil in it

Cool, I'll install it and see how she is

Thanks guys.

If you want to use the picture for future reference (so this question is answered before it's asked again), knock yourselves out.

everyone i've seen has had that much before installing them.

I noticed that most 16g's come with a little play but I just got my brand new 16g and there is no play whatsoever, not even 1 mm.

When I got my 16g there was no shaft play what so ever. After about 100 miles it had about the same play as yours. Its fine to have that much play in it.
