The package stated to align the shaft with 5 thousandths runout and we spent the entire day trying. I think the best we got was in the 20s. We finally had to bring the package back to engineering and get them to revise the runout number as there was no way in hell a 60 year old (at the time) pump was going to have that kind of number!
I'm pretty sure your problem was that you weren't using a 1943 laser.
