Hi I have a question, should the piston pin be tight in the piston or is it ok if it moves freely?
I have had both very tight ones and in a new assembly I bought it can move and if I turn the piston on its side it would drop, there is no play from what I can feel.

When I assemble a saw I use 2stroke oil on any moving parts.

So the wrist pin and bearing gets oiled, it’s tight but it moves side to side if I push;)
