Don't forget that journal bearings do require a bit of play, which is taken up by the oil when running - as long as it isn't in and out should be ok
Did you assemble with something like assembly lube on all parts? At the very least when you first start it, crank her over a fair bit without firing to get the oil pressure up in the turbo ...
Didn't use any lube, just built it dry
lol where can I get just a bearing from? Decent garnett one... But if worst comes to worst it only ows me £35 so if it dies I've not lost much.
