Should the piston wobble freely on the rod (if I hold the rod parallel to the ground, the piston will flop down)....or should they be snug on there so that the piston will stay in place and not move in any direction I move the rod (but still able to move the piston by hand) ? I have some of each

The piston should rotate freely on the wrist pin. as long as you dont have any slop your good.
