0.150mm to .500mm (.006" to .020") is spec for connecting rod side-clearance. Use some feeler gauges and measure the clearance at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock.

Measurements were reported by @spogshd in this thread ... all 4 pairs of rods were out of spec.

Is that just endplay? It almost looks like a bearing is spun.

Here's the thread where all this is unfolding for anyone interested. Doesn't seem to be any bearing damage found.

As posted before ... specs out of the S550 service manual.

Just looking at how much that rod is moving side to side in the video looks like alot more than the listed tolerances.

I've been in plenty of dirtbike bottom ends and any that i've seen like that made horrible noises and blew up shortly after that.

Dirtbikes to cars but it looks and sounds excessive to me.
