Title: Re: How much side to side play is ok in connecting rod on crank side? ( Big End )

there's no washer on the big end, so side play is normal. the big end wear should be checked following the service manual instruction.

Title: How much side to side play is ok in connecting rod on crank side? ( Big End )

I'm about to do a top end on what I'm pretty sure is a 87 lt250r motor. I've got the thing out of the frame and the cylinder off and I was checking the "wiggle room" on the rod and crank. The up and down and wiggle feels acceptable ( semi tight ) however the side to side looks a bit big I'll give a exact measurement if need but I am hoping someone here knows what is the tolerance or has some experience with different rods because I'm not thinking this is an OEM rod. Please advise. Thanks.
