Default 97' Blaster, gonna need help with this one

Just bought a 97' Blaster for $200.

From what I can tell after pulling everything apart I have two problems.
The top end needs to be rebuilt, and I am unfamiliar with crankcases, but whatever actually holds the arm for the piston is loose allowing play and the piston to tilt side to side in the top end.
Now the boring out is no big deal, but this crankcase is going to provide some difficulty with this being the first time I've ever worked on one.

Anyone have any suggestions, comments, or ideas? I am open to all.
I'm taking this on as a personal challenge. If I can't fix it I will part it out and keep the wheels and tires for my current blaster. They're brand new!
