Re: Connecting rods needed
Is there anyway to confirm that connecting rods are available before becoming a member? I know this sounds disrespectful, and I don't mean it to be.

Re: Crankshaft end float
The term oil seal washer is a tad odd; is there supposed to be any rubber on them? Mine, which appear to be original, are just plain steel. Did I mention that this is a bike in a box, disassembled in 1978?
