Default piston & cylinder for dax 70cc (Howell?)

Hello all, last summer I purchased a 70cc motor kit from thatsdax.com. I've had endless troubles with it. After about 150 miles, the connecting rod bearing seized (with a 20:1 mixture). Since I purchased the motor and let it sit in a box for over a month before installing, he would not warranty the motor, so I purchased a new lower end for $50. Ran great for a short while again, until the air cleaner cover cracked, resulting in a wrecked cylinder and piston. I don't feel like spending another $70+ to get my fuel saving cycle on the road again. The cycle is fun, but not worth throwing lots of $$ at.

Does anyone have a blown motor with a useable piston & cylinder?

Thanks all,
Steve
