[QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1190703, member: 73139"] That's normal to be able to move the crank side to side in the cases. Just make sure you center it up before you reassemble. Check your connecting rod side clearances and compare to the service limits. There should be no perceptible radial (in and out) play in the connecting rod as you pull and push on it. There should be no radial play in the mains, either. There may be a minimal amount of axial play. I see, the crank halves are $180 a piece. In that case, have the crank rebuilt. I did see a cylinder for a 1998 RM 250 on fbay, it may fit on the 2000. I believe it comes with the power valves as well. I don't know what condtion the plating is in. I would go ahead and split the cases if I were you, even if you don't decide to replace the main bearings. It appears as if some debris has gone through the engine and it's never a bad idea to split to ensure there isn't any still in the crankcase. [/QUOTE]
