Take the spark plugs out and check for slop in the piston pin and rod journals, one
at a time, but rotating engine so the piston you’re checking is on the “down stroke”,
and take a wood dowel rod and push in on the piston sharply.
If you feel and hear a “clunk” you know you have play somewhere that should be
addressed.

Prepare to be boarded!
