Are the NOS Honda ones new old stock?

..could be nitrous oxide ?🙂
So you’ve bought a full gasket kit and plan on opening the engine, as others have said you might as well measure inspect but plan to replace all the main bearings and con rod bearings. New cam chain, primary chain, tensioners for chains, Seal kits, dowel pins sometimes they get stuck in the cases, new chain and sprockets, plan on replacing some of the hardware like any countersunk screws if they’re tough coming out and the heads look manky. Fresh clutch, measure clutch springs replace if necessary. Fresh rubber intakes for the carbs, if yours are old and hard.
Disagree about shells, inspect yes but replace only if wor and make sure you know where they were originaly

But I think I may as well replace them.
If you havent looked at crankcase how are you seeing the ends? And they are supposed to be shiney where they bed in, put up pics for advice before spending a fortune
