I just put together one of my ealge rods and wiseco pistons, I'm concered becaused there is a gap between the rod and the piston pin, is there supposed to be a gap?

 

i don't know if there is or not but just for food for thought. once it's in the motor the piston is held in place but the block and the rod is head in place by the crank.
if i'm wrong please correct by but i belive there's no play side to side from the rid to the cracnk

 

pic?

 

the piston should be able to move side-to-side on the rod, but there should not be free play or wobble in the piston

 

yeah, i just realized the "D16" rods i bought on Ebay are actually B16 rods.. explains a lot. Back on ebay they go.
