good suggestions, and yea i did actually look into custom bearing halves for the large end. unfortunately, theres not enough room to make thrusted rods. and they have their own inherent problems.
some blank rods would help, but im not finding alot of support from rod companies either. as well as rebushing the small end. no one wants to do it
but, ive considered another idea. the alternate piston idea will work, and i found a machinist that will rebore the pistons wrist pin holes.
so once i get the money for some ridiculously overpriced honda pistons, then ill be able to maybe come up with something
its just an idea in the back of my mind anyway. ive got all the parts except the pistons as of now, so if i can find a dang job then ill be able to put some more effort into this.
