I'm putting my ported 350 back together and noticed that the piston pin is loose in the (hyway) piston. It has some up/down movement (about .004") and looks like the pin has pressed up into the bore a little. It has about an hour of run time. 2 strokes always push down, so maybe it's not a big deal, but I wanted to ask just in case. I never noticed this much play in a pin before, but I have never really paid much attention before because they always felt snug.
I tore it down because of an air leak. The lower case was warped, so I got a new one. It has gobs of power and revs to the moon. Is the hyway piston not hard enough? I have an oem piston I could modify to match the current one and swap them out, but that piston has a matching cylinder (not ported) and I would like to keep them as a pair for any future replacement or if I find another 350.
