It's quite easy to get a false reading from Plastigauge IMO, too much torque, too little torque and you get a different result.

Wow thanks, I had no idea. But I will see what I can find.
How have you measured them for rebuild or replacement if not trusting plastigauge to be accurate, enough?
"Too much or too little torque"? Im Not exactly sure why someone would purposefully set up the torque wrench wrong when checking bearings w plastigauge? But this is your reasoning not mine.
Again, Im just using Hondas preferred technique as per manual.
Stamped Or do you mean hand written numbers? If so, long long gone. haha :P
Ill look through my pics. Maybe caught them by random chance.
This kind of info is why I like these forums. And why I was excited to join this U.K. forum,
Just wishing I knew about it earlier. As there is more knowledge on the 400F here than I found in the States.

Now your going "old school". I have one of those at work, (in the bottom of the work box". haha
Happy to find all 3 of mine are the same.
(ps, you made an old man w bad knees roll around on the cold concrete to get a shot up and under the bike. )
This is the "new case" currently installed in the bike.
Old broken case...
and my complete spare engine, saving for another project...

Here is where I get all caught up to the present with this thread.
Still got a long way to go before its "finished". HAHA LOL ;D
Last weekend was our Thanksgiving holiday. I got a 4 day weekend at home w the machine.
I was excited to hear this thing run...
So I made myself a 2 wire harness. A 12+ from battery to the kill switch to feed coils and the neg to engine cover bolt.
Video, First fire and First ride.
