When the piston is at top dead center I can move the crank maybe a 1/4 inch without the piston moving. I can see the rod through the cam hole and it moves. Thinking this is not normal. Would this be slop where the rod attaches to the piston pin?
 
At the very top of the stroke ( and bottom) the arc is really narrow. So you don't have a lot of vertical movement, mostly horizontal as the crankshaft comes around. This and any freeplay in the bearings magnify the effect.
