G148 question

[RBoots]

Hey everyone, I'm working on the G148 in my 1835B skidsteer. It blew a headgasket, so I pulled the head and am having that gone through, and decided to just rebuild the engine while I was in there so I won't have to pull it out again for a long time hopefully. After tearing it apart, I haven't yet removed the pistons from the rods, but I did notice that either the piston pin bushings are either very loose or are full floating. So which is it? Are they supposed to be pressed in and mine are just loose, or are they supposed to float on the pin and in the rod? I can take a small screwdriver and slide the bushing back and forth on the pin and in and out of the rod end. It is snug, but moves nonetheless. Thanks

The bushing shouldn't move in the rod bore. Sounds like the rods are due for service.

That's what I figured, just wanted to be sure, thanks Matt

Just a test, going to post the pic in pieces just to see if it is more legible.
