If the rod or crank can be moved up and down 1/16 of an inch it should have beat the bottom end out the pan. Side to side is an entirely different deal. You can slide the rods slightly in a side to side motion but a 1/16 inch seems a bit much. A ‘62 is a full pressure and insert bearing engine and has torque requirements for rod and main caps.🛠
