The conrod will have a little tiny bit of clearance even when new - and is absolutely necessary to get oil in there. With the piston at TDC, you will notice that tiny bit of play as you rock the crank either side of TDC with the piston basically stuck in the pinch. This is normal. Even a tiny audible clicking noise can be sometimes heard. This is fairly normal - within reason.
