With the oil pan off, I found that my crank can move forward about a 1/4 inch and that the trusts have all been knocked off and laying in the oil pan.
The guy who rebuilt my engine about 2000 miles ago, says that is normal, no need to worry.
I say BS. He did a crappy rebuild.
I might be wrong and would like to hear other comments.

Yes, definitely BS
