On the 550 the switch is on the oil pump so after it is main gallery to filter.
I have seen bad primary chain wear on the gallery to filter but not yet one worn through

If it is ok with no shoes fitted and done up tight it cant be bearings or brakeplate.
It is possible that the shoes are too wide, you could put a smear of coloured grease( coppaslip comes to mind) on the edges of the shoes and see if it transfers to hub or brakeplate, i have also had shoes where they dont sit properly on the cam as they are fractionally too wide, you said you had to thin the hole end so leave springs off and see if the flat pads sit asquare on the cam.
We are at the mercy of the manufacturers and suppliers of pattern parts who dont seem to take as much care in manufacture.
When available i always use Vesrah, they seem to be a better maker

Ted i think that was one of 3 i had relined by Paul in Huddersfield when he was doing them.
As far as i know he used cast iron pipe not brake drums and did do them to smallest size.
It was a long time ago so maybe a bit of corrosion, i would use a flap wheel in a drill to clean out the drum.

Yes they can, and were, back in the day we had one with a bent crank and taking the chance that it was maleable cast we had an approx 9 inch long bar turned so that an internal taper locked to the crank with an ht allen screw then carefull "whacked" the end with large hammer whilst clocking the bar on a turned portion concentric to the taper.
We got it to within 1 thou of concentric and the engine ran fine for as long as we had records of it(years)

We were one of those dealers that removed them at pdi as you could just about guarantee a misfire when the british liquid sunshire arrived

All head gaskets are now thicker than Honda original due to no asbestos used in manufacture but the suppliers still give you the original size O rings so they dont seal as well.
If you go to the US site and look up Mark Paris (Hondaman) he can sdvise on size, i dont have all my books to hand

550 and 500 same shape but later ones had a connector bit, the screwed in retainer does not have a seal, only the big tim pressed plate

If the people who made it, or those that sold it didnt give you a wiring diagram in my opinion it aint worth using

No matter what set you need thicker O rings at the headgasket than those in the set
