...and the brass bushing was still on the crank pin and not a mark on it either...

Pedro,

Are you sure of that?

First of all, if there is a bushing in the con-rod, it is not brass...

It is bronze! And this is true of all engines and is not particular to Saitos.

And as far as I knew, most Saito single-cylinder engines do not employ any bushing in the rod (see photo of 1.25 item)... It is made of high-silicon aluminium, which requires no bushing...
