I've gave it some thought and I plan on using a bushing. Mine was loose from the get go I think, but it runs good still. needle bearings are good but why do the wrist pin and not the crank? I'm thinking maybe split the crank and have a look at that's in there as well and maybe re bush all with a quality bushing. Then again I maybe blowing smoke out of you know where. I'm going to start today as I might be back to work by tomorrow. My original plans were ride it until it drops then buy a new engine. But I got to liking this engine so I hope to breath more life into it but I might kill it on the sacrificial table to the God of speed. Well a quick look at the rest of the posts then off to the alter.
