Help Support Early Bay Forum:
end float is the amount of movement your bottom pulley has (or in fact the cam its connected to) you may have a tiny tiny amount (i am sure there is a figure for how much) but if there is a large amount then something may well be up and its a big job to fix! 8)
If your bottom pulley moves around loads then you may have to start thinking about a strip down and engine removal ASAP. :shock:

As Easy says.
The way to test for it is to open your engine lid and pull back and forth as hard as you can on the lower pulley.
you should *just* be able to feel movement. More than a tiny bit is a sign of a higher mileage engine but not necessarily a problem.
If you can see movement, then it is too much endfloat!
All the above is assuming you have a T1 engine (the one with the upright cooling / 2 pulleys on the front)

Except its the movement of the crankshaft not the camshaft.
