The clearance between the power piston and it's cylinder should be almost nothing, you certainly shouldn't be able to see any gaps, shine a torch from behind the piston, if you see any light on the other side then the gap is too big.
As for the displacer, it should be about 2- 5 mm clearance (not too important this)
Check there's not too much friction in the bearings too.
Hope you get it running.
