FYI: Packard service manual indicates .003 to .011 inch sideplay for the rods. The .003 seems a bit tite to me.
I'm not sure about that .100 inch sideplay tho. Seems like too much.
I suppose one could cut the top out of a scrap piston and mock it up to see if the top of the rod is getting too close to the piston pin bosses and for general centering analysis.
