A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Weber Called today and asked me to send the good connecting rods to them so they can get the balance as close as possible. So they will be in the mail tomorrow, I am guessing it will be 2-3 weeks before getting them back

did you hone the holes out, or what?

Sure glad to see it back together.  After all that, I think the chain failed.  You were running the engine easy for what it was....
