Well I'm updating this thread with information regarding the proper way to re-install the connecting rod back onto the crank pin for a Homie 25 or 30.There may very well be others later that will find themselves in a similiar situation with a Homie conversion that they are doing and would appreciate knowing the answer to this question as I sure would have.I found out the hard way after finally having the opportunity to take apart and inspect another 4 Homies and they were all done the same way.

As mentioned before,the lower needle bearing on the connecting rod is sort of rounded off or tapered on one side of rod and flat on the other side usually with a numerical bearing identification number stamped or printed on it.This flat side of the bearing with the bearing number stamped on it,should be facing OUTWARDS after being reinstalled on the crankpin .Other hands,when installing the connecting rod back on the crank pin,just make sure the rounded/tapered side of the needle bearing on the connecting rod is the side you slide onto the crankpin first.I hope this helps somebody else down the road.
