If you have play from side to side in the rod... it's about time for a new bearing/rod. A little up and down play is okay.

Duh - yeah... side to side is OKAY. Up and down is NOT OKAY :p
Just more this point..................how many time (aprox.) a piston rod can run ?
Now Mr. 96whyzee125 has a "special" bike with a top secret piston made of the same stuff they use on the Space Shuttle's heat shields. That's why his pistons last "1248 hours, 17 minutes, 36 1/10 seconds... " For the rest of us, I'd only go about 25 -30 hours.
