Bike was still running strong so I had not checked it. I could not get much if any up and down on the lower rod bearing, of course it has some side to side movement. I can get some movement on the main bearings by grabbing the stator. Should i be very concerned about the lower end?

And where did that part of the wrist pin go (and likely parts of the the needle bearing too)? I'd be a little curious and use the time of heavy snow to split the cases. You can satisfy your curiosity for the cost of a couple gaskets and potentially save a really big bang from happening at some inopportune moment in the near future.

I have rode it a good bit. The needle bearing was intact, looks like the metal went away on the wrist pin. The bore and the piston look good. There is no snow here in NC/SC, next enduro race is in 4 weeks! thanks

If that was mine I would want a new bottom, but it would really depend how far away the parts were. If I had a race coming and no parts I would ride it and hope for the best!

With 4 weeks to go, if you can get the parts rebuild that bottom end and the top for piece of mind. Splitting the cases is easy and a complete rebuild can be done in no time at all. Then you can hit that enduro without the worry of, "my bike may blow up any minute!"
