Flywheel end play?

Hey guys, so when I removed my transmission and got down to the flywheel, I specifically remember grabbing the flywheel (still bolted to e-shaft) and being able to shake it in an out, small but noticeable amount of play. After resurfacing, I used an impact gun and torqued it down and now I don't seem to have any play. Is it possible to torque the flywheel too much or am I even supposed to have play?

Edit: When I first noticed the play, the engine was out of the car with no belts on, now its in the car with the belts on. Maybe that's it?

u should get a very small (like 0.0x mm) amount of play (in and out)

but u should barely notice it cuz it's so small, it's e-shaft end-play
