Tore down my 82 and send the cylinder off to be bored by John Trice in Oregon.

I checked my rod, and although it has no up and down play, it has an ungodly, no where near spec wobble side to side.
I have found a few good used cranks on Ebay, but I'm still unable to locate a rebuild kit.
I can find the main bearings, but can't find the connecting rod bearings.
Is there a rebuild kit out there, or is there a kit/crankshaft that will swap over, which has the kits necessary to rebuild?
Sure, I can go get a good used crank, which I will probably end up doing, I just want the peace of mind that the money that I sink into it will not be wasted by bandaging a massive problem or being unable to fix an integral part of my bike.

And AirFoolers is not nearly as active as 3WheelerWorld.
The last thread I posted had maybe 20 views, one reply about my top end rebuild questions.....and thats about a bike the site is named after :wondering :(

Here is your connecting rod. You would need to find a shop locally to split the crank down, true and rebuild. http://www.hotrodsproducts.com/ProductInfo.aspx?item_id=913

OR

you could send it to BDT and they could rebuild it for you (new rod/big & small end bearings) plus a weld and true for ~195. They will use a PRO-X rod I believe.
