hey guys, i took my oil pan off in hopes of solving my loud clanking noise problem and vibration. It mainly vibrated between 3200 and 3900 rpm's.. and kinda at idle. I thought this would be balance shaft related, maybe a rear balance shaft bearing. Although i have not replaced the bshafts yet, i dont think thats the problem. I took a picture of the rear bearing, and it seems intact.

I think i may have come to the problem though. Where my rods connect to the crank, there is some side to side play. Is this normal?

it moves side to side about a milimeter along the crank. They all do this, not just one, which is what makes me not sure what to think. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
