Default 3W

The click is from clearance between the rod and crankpin, and/or side play of the rings in the piston grooves....Not to worry..The press fit between the crank and pin is so tight it can't slip...If it was loose enough to slip the crank would twist so bad it wouldn't turn...
Most engine manufacturers are pretty close mouthed about their designs..It's doubtful 3W will release any specs...
