The piston was slapping about not through bore wear cuz it had a rebore but because the amount of wear of the little ends.
There was nothing wrong with the old little ends, but got them replaced just to be sure, got them done by a well known company and when i was assembling the engine they didn't feel right, so got the redone by a different company, and still the same problem. i knew there was to much play on them, now after 500mls it sounds like a tractor. it cost me £80 a go.
Just taking engine appart and going to fit them myself.
