Well that's probably not good then.

Personally, I doubt most people could tell on their first try...

If the engine is horizontal (on the floor), this makes it even harder.

I find it easy to do when the engine is vertical, like on the engine stand right after assembly.
You can push up the front pulley boss an hear the click-click as it goes up and down.

If the engine is horizontal, I would take a measurement that is easy to replicate either from the front pulley boss or the rear counterweight / flywheel.
Kick the front pulley boss *OR* rear CW / flywheel - take measurement.
Kick it the other way - take measurement.
As long as you get some kinda measurement and NOT "0", you're good.
