Ebay E-Shaft "Did i get the shaft??"

I bought a parts lot on ebay the shaft looked great.....but the person did a bad job packing it. The oil pump came out of the little box of parts then rolled around and threads grazed the the e-shaft.

Is the shaft still usable? You can drag your finger nail and get a little ripple feel.

Hope the picture helps...

I'm guessing it's not usable.

Please tell me it's good because it seems this forum took out the sale section.

I am no expert, but since thats on the bearing area I think its a goner. Wait for conformation before you turn it into a lamp though.

I have a Renesis shaft brand new in the box for sale if you want to upgrade.

At $20 for a used one from the boards, is it worth taking the chance?

It will work fine, but I'd still pick up a good used one off this forum. Like farberio said, they're cheap.

Well i'm looking for a n/a shaft in good shape.

Am on the right track for wanting a n/a vs. turbo shaft for the abused factor?

Thank you for your input.

NA and turbo shafts are the same. That is only a minor scratch though. Can you post a picture at an angle.

Yes I know they are the same.

Just so you know iv read/searched this forum for years. I just have a low post count.


The ripples seem to protrude out a little.


Here is a better picture, maybe?
