Is this lateral side to side movement OK? There is no up/down play, all four rods move the same....
I just want to make sure this is OK before I continue my rebuild.

Thanks!

Yes it is normal. If you want to compare it to the service limit get a service manual and a feeler guage, however judging by the video it is fine.

Looks normal to me, It has to have some play in it for oil and so it won't bind when rotating.
