Question on piston movement on small end bearing

How much play is acceptable on the side to side off the Small end bearing. I fitted one of those cheap186 kits to my brothers scooter and the piston seems to me to have too much play from side to side on the grudgeon pin. Is the answer to fit piston shims or a wider small end bearing? Thanks graeme
