Default B9 piston break.

Had a huge wreck on our local track BIG jump which I'm sure we all have done. Continued on in the race and had a flame out 2 min after wreck. Thought that was strange so checked it out and found that the air filter had come off.(crappy cheep cable tie had broken). Pulled off back plate and removed glow plug to flush out engine with fuel and all seemed ok not really scratched or scored. Reassembled and seemed ok but kept flaming out. Got home and checked out the motor and found that I had screwed up on re assembly and it looks like I've done the piston skirt and back plate thing.
Anyway, just want to know where the best place is to get a new rod, piston , sleve and bearings for a B9. And should I go ceramic bearings. Does anyone do a complete rebuild kit.

Bit pissed about it but on a good note the wife gave me permission to buy a new motor and the B10 is now run in!!
