My Zilla had no thrust washers on the top or the bottom of the connecting rod also
& no damage inside the crank cases (they must of blew off and took out the top end at one time)

But it had a Newer bore and piston. , so I take it that's why the old owner had to bore it over.

& He must of missed the fact that they where missing.

Im 15 and i dont have a job! Haha

Don't complain you don't have a job think of ways you can make money. 

You don't need "a job" to make money you need some brains and some work ethic and if you use both your income won't be limited by what someone is willing to pay you.

x3 there is a pretty good chance the lower ones are there. However it seems there are more and more stories that people put together top ends with out the piston thrust washers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LT500-LT250-Billet-Thrust-Washers-Bearing-Kit-Quadzilla-Quadracer-/300985238795?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item46141e450b&vxp=mtr

Theres the kit you will want for the billet thrust washers for the piston.

That's ERBE, they are the same kit if you buy it here in the store.

They're probably there the lower washers are very hard to see. Post some pictures if you can I remember another person thinking they didn't have lower washers only to find out they did.

X2 on this.

Use a light and a pick to see if they are there.  Most likely they should be.

ok thanks. but what i dont understand is it has a hotrods coneccting rod and wouldnt the crank have to sent to a proffesional shop to put it on? and how could  they forget to put the trust washers on the bottom of the connecting rod? they didnt blow apart because there not in the motor anywhere

You have to have top and bottoms. If their missing you need to have crank rebuilt. The top ones use billet washer and rm 99 wrist pin bearing.
