I just plastigaged one of my con-rods. While it feels like there is a suprising amount of slop, the plastigage showed there was not. I think the issue is the side to side slop, not clearance in line with the con-rod.

If you carefully pull and push on the rod you will probably feel almost no play. Don't let it move side-to-side, just pull and push in-line with the rod.

I would plastiage one con rod (and replace the bolts after) just for peace of mind.
