Yeah not too surprised really I wouldn't worry about a little bit of play. My motor is similar uses a little bit of oil, remember the engine builder asking if I was too worried about blow by as is better to have ring gap on the larger end of the scale as opposeded to tighter as this can result in fubar engine so this may be the case with either either or both? I know it's not ideal but as long as it's not using crazy amount, blowing smoke or leaking just drive it I reckon. Could ask JPC, is funny that it hasn't done it from new but . .?
