    yes.. should be nice and tight but still able to move smoothly...That will turn into a rod knock very quickly.

    which one 77/78/79/81[r.i.p]82 sbrc driftbox, and a CeliLux/current daily= 79 sbrc [lil' blue]
    you need a small amount of side to side play otherwise it would bind cleck it with a feeler guage and your chilton or hanyes manual should have the specs if not call a engine builder [perferably one who build ministock toy motors]
