rod slop

[Joe Lansing <kidjoevid@yahoo.com>]

So I'm putting new pistons in a 1275, and I get just
the #1 in, nd I rotate the crank just a little - back
and forth. There is a metal to metal click coming from
the rod bearing. There is visible side to side slop
(maybe as much as 1/32) when I push laterally on the
bottom of the rod. This can't be right, can it? Do I
perhaps have incorrect rod bearings? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
