Cam out and head off next then. I'll read the manual, but any top tips I should be aware of?

I see a lot of damage were people put the wrong length bolts in the wrong place when putting the cam towers back on. There are 4 bolts that have number 7 on the head, make sure these go back were you took them from as, they are a tad longer than the other bolts and if in the wrong place will punch the bottom of the thread holes out and will leak.
What you need to do is remove the rockers and get the cam chain off. Leaving the cam towers on the head, place the cam shaft back in the towers and put the cam caps back on. Bolt it down and see if the cam rotates easy in the towers. This will rule out it the cam shaft is bent or not.
I still have not seen anything untowards from the pictures. Have you assembled the gear box in the lower casing and with the clutch basket on, tried the kick start ?
K2-K6:
Once you've removed the rocker shafts (and rockers) you can still turn the engine to see what it feels like ae all the valves are just left closed, as long as the plugs are out you'll not have any resistance from valve springs.
It obviously won't check the cam as trigger has indicated above though.

I've only just started stripping it down last week as I've been busy with other projects.

OK so rockers off, no change.
Cam out, no change.
Still very stiff to move in places.
Everything looks ok with the cam though.
Head coming off next then.
