I did show you that the cranks are different Ash, so how they are the same part number is only something that MR Honda can explain
Thanks, that just what I wanted to hear, it means I don't have to dismantle the gearbox, clutch, selectors, sprocket etc unless I need to.
I'll see where I'm at when I've got it in bits, I take the point that it all wants to come out for a good clean. From experience I'm very aware of 'mission creep', I don't want to get carried away if I can help it.From the external condition, and the lack of mechanical noise (other than the death rattle when hot!), I think the motor had been rebuilt when the bike was restored, so I'm hoping that most of it will be good. I checked the oil pump out at the weekend, it all looked OK. I could do with fixing the wet sumping though, Trigger you said on the other oil pressure thread that you do the stopper kit yes?Another 'while I'm in there' job will be to fit the heavy steel 'case protector' around the drive sporcket, which is absent - anyone got one?@ Ash, your mate might be a good way to go, but I need to see what rod(s) I'll need first, in the hope that you have one (or more) the right grade to make a matching set. I'll fit new shells and mains after miking all the journals up, that doesn't look to be a cheap undertaking.Any recommendations on gasket sets? some don't have all the O rings, yamiya do one at great cost, but I'm sure good quality.
