Default WL Rear Cylinder Needed

To all,

I think most of you know I did the Cross Country Chase in the Fall and had a motor failure along the way. After over 1000 miles the rear cylinder wrist pin clip walked and ruined my cylinder, which sucks as it was a good original. Plus it has history of the intake nipple replaced at Johnjzjz's shop.

Anyway, I am in the search for a good rear cylinder that has not been bored to the end of it's life. Looking for 30 over or less bore.

Who is holding and wants to help a guy out???

If you're not familiar with this guy, he might be able to help you out.
He has a lot of old parts.
