Husky 385xp crankshaft lateral movement

Hello All, Bought a basket case husky 385xp, bad piston. Took
off cylinder and piston, crank seem ok. Took off the clutch and
was going to take
off a leaky oil pump , but noticed a little lateral movement in
the crankshaft. Tight up and down , but a little play, side to
side.
Is this normal ? If not then, the crankcase replaced or both
the crank and case ?
Thanks for the help

You talking on the big end rod end of crank? If so yes.
If talking crank bearings and crank moving through them side to
side. I never seen this on husky.
MORE added: Guess I should clarify, have seen crank bearings
spin in case and move around. But not good.
Now on some poulans the tolerances are less and there is some
crank movement side to side through good crank bearings. But
never seen a husky do this if it is right.

Sounds to me like the stubs are spun in the bearings. Give green
loctite a try, let it cure for a good while before running it.

Thanks for the replys, yes this is the big rod end of the crank,
just a little side movement. No up or down movement. Its still
bolted together.
Now Cut4fun say thats ok.
Now SquareFile wants me to try locktite.
If I had to I can change the crankcase, only Right? But if i am
that far then i might as well change the crank also.
I could use the 390xp crankcase , but not the crankshaft ?
Maybe just turn a blind eye to this beast and bolt everything
together till it explode ?
Thanks for the replys guys

SF was talking about the side to side on the crank going through
crank bearing not the big end.
I was guessing on both just in case I was wrong on which you
were asking about. He just went with 2nd one.
