Is there much shaft play? There will be a bit Side to side for oil clearance. front to back is not so good. Also for piece of mind, remove the turbing housing and check for cracks......................might aswell port it while it off too ;p.
Yeah about 1mm side to side, just the tiniest perceptable movement front to back.
