Bearings that have lost there crush and just fall out , or hardly clip in are a sure as Dung sign of detonation!

Combine this with grit from failing parts and you end up with a motor that looks unfortunately like yours Sam!

As posted you need to check how the piston pins feel and see how beat up there skirts may be from grit, I would guess there is no one in your neck of the woods who can properly polish a cast Crank no less cut one?

Cast Cranks need to be polished in a certain rotational direction if you do not want new bearings to get chewed up by what looks like a surface that is perfect.
