Re: [St] 96,398(was 98,398)

Is it free play in the piston rod head (crank shaft side) or the foot (top end i.e. piston side).
As you didn't notice any defect in the journal surfaces is it the piston rod journal pads that need to be
replaced? Will you do that? As this free play will increase, the engine will probably develop noises.
Where you able to notice vertical free play (rotating the crank a little bit and piston stay steel)?

Si is on the path I believe we are finding. The rotation I was referring too was while the piston was still in the bore, after only the head was removed. You could place >your finger tips on the crown and twist it, just slightly, clockwise and anti-clockwise.
