Hey all. I bought a rebuilt 216 a few months ago that had been sitting unused for close to 10 years since its rebuild.

I popped the oil pan off to give it a once over and one thing that I've noticed is there is very little crankshaft endplay.

How tight/stiff is the crank supposed to be? I should be getting a small but measurable amount of wiggle, right?
