I have just came across this post.
Thought I haven't seen his post for a while...
Hope he is enjoying wine and bikes in a better place.
As the saying goes,
Ride as fast as your guardian angel!

Matthew, any chances to see a picture of that engine stand? The engines sit nicely enough with the oil filter housing and sump in situ, and as my shed is a bit of a mess I normally stick the oil filter back on as soon as that bit is clear of the frame, but still supported, minimalising the chances for dirt or dust to get in. I have about 8 500/550 engines stood like this awaiting either work or installation. I also like a very basic engine stand I picked up in a job lot that allows me to test engines complete with exhaust without installing it.

Thanks so much for your thoughts, def will check above. I wonder how would messed up gear box behave, I'm wondering as the kick starter doesn't make the noise every time I "kick it".
I will most likely have some time tomorrow night to check the bike, sadly work is getting in the way...
Again, thank you for helping me out.

It's interesting that while turning engine by the nut on generator , there was no noises, just when I use kick start.

Filled it up with oil, after few kicks there is loud bang sounds like form gearbox, like a jumping "teeth" somewhere.
Also, no oil appears in camshaft.
Gutted, and desperate to find solutions.

Big day today for me, engine in one piece and managed to squeeze it into the frame, next time will assembly cylinder block and head in frame... it was bloody hard work to fit whole engine in.
Any ways, was dying to give it few kicks and new oil so all is well lubed inside, as I was fitting new oil filter I found that I'm missing bits from inside of the oil filter bolt, valve check spring and pin.
I wonder how important are those parts, what are they actually doing? and if anyone like to sell them?
Also, what is best way to check if oil runs to the "top" I can't see any oil coming when I look thru tappet adjusting hole.
