SOME side to side play is ok. not flopping like a fish in a pail, thats BAD. the rod should have NO up and down play at all.
No up and down play.
Manual says side to side play is 1mm, but I have known 3mm play without any noticable up and down.

I'm not going to look but O P should, is that side clearance at big end, or side to side "rocking" of the small end?
Let me be clearer.
Side to side play at big end should be no more than 0.7mm.
I was referring to the play at the small end when rocked .
Not offended Larry, I realised that I was not perfectly clear in the explanation, so I thought I should clear it up.
I you are wanting to rinse out the crankcase, you can use gas.
Then you need to....
Pour some 2 stroke oil in the crancase on the big end and small end bearing and down the main bearing feed holes, you need at least a tablespoon of oil to lay in the bottom of the case before you assemble it.
