Default K&B .45 (7.5) engine help

I just received a K&B 7.5 (.45) 9100 D/F series engine from a fellow modeler. My question is , At top dead center, it feels as if there is a flat spot on the bearings (I know there isn't however), It just feels like it. Is this normal for this engine. It also does it at bottom dead center. Just wondering if this is normal. Is it the sleeve or the piston , or should I just inquire about returning it???
Thanks all
Don

That's just the crank pin rocking back and forth in the rod. No worries.

You MIGHT have an 'egg-shaped' wristpin hole in the piston or conrod..... Might want to check it!
