Walt---Absolutely. And for many, thank goodness. While it's best to use
a dial indicator (up against the crank timing pulley) to see just how
much "float" there is, you can get a feel as to how much is present just
by sticking your finger between the pulley and the tubular cross bar in
front of this pulley. Lever the crank (pulley) towards the back of the
engine as you would when using a real dial indicator, then lever it
forward with your finger in place. If your finger gets pinched, you have
too much play! Cabish?
