So, I will be honest, I know very little of 2-stroke engines...but yesterday when I was installing my new piston, i noticed that when I finished, the piston had a lot of sideplay on the crankarm (the crankarm has no play, just the piston). The clips are in their grooves on both sides and securely fastened, it seems that the piston is shifting on the bearings, not the pin itself. Is this normal or is this bad? I feel like I didn't have this with my original piston, but maybe I'm wrong. In the cylinder, there is zero play or slap, just when it is out of the cylinder.
