I have an old cast iron techumseh engine I am trying to rebuild. (The rod broke). I am putting it back together. At the bottom of the stroke I can hear a sound and there seems to be some slight "play" where the rod does not move the poston any. I think the same at the top of the stroke.
Is this a problem or am I being overly cautious? This is my first rebuild and have learned alot but wanted to get your opinion. I have a video posted here:
