Default Engine Question !!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

Hope someone can give me insite to this question !!!!!!!!

Im buliding a SuperSportstar 40 ive just added a new OS46LA engine into it, but my question is concerning this as its a brand new engine, when ive connected the spinner and prop when i turn the engine without a glow plug in, it makes like a clicking noise, a click each turn, seems to be comming from the washer (thrust washer area), as it happens when you push the spinner towards the engine aswell, its kinda like a click as it seems thiers a bit of a gap thier. The spinner and washer and nut have been done up tight but the cranckshaft moves just a little in and out which i think is causing this noise.... it seems to have a small bit of play in it......

Is this normal ? as i wanted to check this first before i atempted to start the engine....... and if its not what can i do to recitify this !!!!

Any help would be grateful, many thx
