No, the conrods shouldn't be moving with the sump off.

With the sump off, there won't be any oil, so no oil lubrication.

If you're seeing the conrods moving whilst you have the sump off, switch the engine off.

hahahahahahahahaha.

That was genuinely funny, and everybody seems to have missed it! nice one man :)

A fraction of side to side play is normal. Any play up and down is very bad news indeed.
