Is this normal?
or should it be silent with no touching? I have clearance as I can move the rod side to side a bit, which i suspect is normal.. but not sure if clearance is even all the way around.
how could i determine if the bore on the big end is square with the rod. Would that cause it to rub? It was resized by a machine shop but is there a way to double check?
thanks in advance
