That's a fair one, will look up what's actually in the dishwasher tabs and how alkaline it is.

WD40 on the liners is a good idea I did the same to prevent rust

Was that with just regular dishwasher tabs?
Green1:
I used Finish dishwasher tabs

So i put a few bits through the dishwasher on the hottest wash without any dish wash tablets.
Prize to anyone who said steel parts will rust immediately!
Wasn't so bad though as a bit of oil on a cloth cleaned it right off..
Apart from the didn't get much else done today to be honest, Im trying to get the kick starter shaft out of the lower case but i can't get the little stopper pin out. As per the picture in the workshop manual I've tried a pair of side cut pliars but it wont budge at all, any suggestions?
Underdog1:
Even though the crankshaft and final drive sprocket were seemingly loose I was unable to actually remove them from the upper case. Just nipped back out to the garage and prised the thick rubber seal off on the end of both and they lifted right out so the upper case is now empty :)

Had a netflix and chill day today so didn't spend much time in the garage. I managed to get that pesky kick starter stopper pin thing out with the help of a blowtorch and mole grips, took one hell of an effort though!
All thats left in the cases now is the transmission countershaft. Ive got shift fork ears and shaft off, top gear, bottom gear and primary drive gear out but the rest of the countershaft (with remaining 3 gears) wont lift out as pictures in my haynes manual as the gearshift drum is in the way by like 1mm. Is it possible to get them out without removing the gear shift drum (i wanted to avoid having to remove that staked screw on the gear shift side plate...
Also if I'm going to paint the whole engine is it better to do it fully stripped down or when its fully assembled (the later seems a lot less admin taping things off!)?
