yes its fine. mine does the same, as do all vvl rocker arms. it just allows it to pivot. the actual locking pin is vertical in the middle of the rocker

How the VVL works - SR20 Forum

i tried posting a link of how vvl works but the site needs to approve it first so it might pop up idk, but just google how vvl works and its the first link that comes up

ok ill take a picture later, not sure that its good, because i think that with the vibration le pin can go out

I doubt you can order a replacement snap ring from the dealer. They are the smallest snap rings I have ever seen. Best bet is get a used rocker arm.

Each roll pin has two snap rings located on the ends. If you're missing one, just stake the end with the missing snap ring with a stop or jb weld it,blue loctite, center punch it, what ever to stop it from sliding all the way through. There isn't a lot of thrust force on the roll pin.

all of mine move a bit left and right, but that snap ring is there to keep it from sliding out. you should be able to see if there is no snap ring, it would be able to slide right out.
