Yep. The play in the left crank seems to actually be 1/8" or less. But I know the cotter bolts are made of softer metal, and as it slips during pedaling, it will likely further deform against the hardened BB spindle, eventually getting worse. I'm going to first make some inquiries to see if I can borrow a cotter press. Not happy about prospect of $67 + $5 per new cotter bolt....
