Default How easilt can you feel play in the top or bottom end bearings?

easilY sorry and can't edit that bit

Piston is off, I'm trying to check if I can feel play in the big or little end, when pulling/pushing the wrist pin or conrod to try and feel for play the problem is if the pin or conrod is tilted/angled slightly it feels as if there is play and it's difficult to keep everything in a perfectly straight line when feeling for play. If the bearings are loose and there's a problem is it easy to feel - i.e. should be very obvious?
