Howdy. I thought I would jump in and let people know that I have ditched the rebuild. The lower counter balance weight bearing ended up being too close to the wear limit for my liking. The crank eccentrics were not replaceable. It seemed the wearing surface was the crank eccentric and not the weight white metal surface. The costs involved in rectifying that issue and the intended use I required of that motor didn't end up being cost effective. I didn't want to chance reassembling the engine and having a knock that would annoy me.
I hope at least the shots of cleaning the crank pin and the suggestions offered by others are useful to someone.
