R53 connecting rod side play

Hi

Does anyone know the value of connecting rod side play in w11 engine?

I recently rebuild w10 engine in mini r50 and conrod side plan in these engine was not noticable.
Right now I'm working on w11 engine from mini r53 and the conrod play is much more than the w10.
I could move with the connecting rod a bit like in this movie:


I'm wondering if this is normal.

I have Haynes and Bentley manual but there is no info in it.

All I found was an information about side play of crankshaft but nothing about conrod.

I will be grateful for any information.
