I am not going to rebuild it right now, because i am going to the dunes for a week and a half over christmas and new years, unless you know of someone that can, do a crank, 450kit, all updates, and have it ready to go by friday of this coming week. I would love to redo the whole motor, but I would rather ride on a time bomb for a week, then have it fixed when I get back.

No, at the very least will re-sleeve after checking for any big-end rod play. Motor has the Cannondale factory stud update done, and has a VERY solid tight crankplate etc -- Still, that original rod bearing is suspect now or near future, but maybe not enough time for that now.
a while later now....I have the sleeve out and piston looks very good, with only slight wristpin discolor more to right side than left - no scoring. Yes some side clearance big end of rod, probably beyond spec, will get that measured soon. For the up/down play I feel "something" but very very slight -- have to get all flushed and try measurements.
