It seems I am juggling too many threads here on this subject, and I apologize. I will leave this post short but try to be informative.
I received a entire replacement bottom end for my motor today. I took off the piston to check a couple of things out and see that this new motor they sent is very different then the one I bought. I am going to post the picture in my other thread about RMAs but the new piston rod and crank look to be much better quality than my original motor BUT.... It has a bushing instead of needle bearings under the wrist pin! Now I am REALLY confused.
It would seem I did possible that I did NOT get a Flying Horse from them originally and have been trying to install Flying Horse parts on a different make engine.
HOWEVER, if this new lower end is a true Flying Horse, why is there a bushing?

So again the question comes up, does a motor, manufacured in the Flying Horse plant in China in the last 2 years, have needle bearings or a bushing under the wrist pin?
OH, and one other VERY interesting tidbit I found on the internet. Did you know that Webniche Stores, parent company of Bikeberry, has applied for the trademark of "Flying Horse" as of Dec 19, 2012?

That would mean that they could sell ANY engine and trademark them as "Flying Horse". Things that make you go HMMMMMMMM....
