The one that came with mine was utter crap and the holes were miles out, about 31/2mm which is loads.

Shiny shiny engine parts are now back. They look so much better, and now its time to start the rebuild.
Not sure on paint but am leaning to keeping it all silver using VHT paint.

Im trying to size up the Conrod bearing clearances to replace them, but am a bit unsure on the key / bearing tang to exahust side in the manual.
Is the way i have it in the picture correct?

that looks correct as the genuine Honda manual says both tabs on bearings on same side and pointing to exhaust side.
Bryanj:
Cant really tell how you have it in that pic, but the locating tangs top and cap have to be on the same side and that side should be the front of the engine

Thanks Mick.
Looking at the manual on how to select bearing shells for Conrods, I've got:
2D, 2D, 2D, 3D
All shaft pin diametere are 34.99
I've plastigauged rod one between the cap and bearing and between bearing and pin. Both measured 0.038mm clearance.
I'm not sure where to go from here though as the manual has bearing selection based on the rod stampings and pin diametera. Can't find where in the manual the clearances come in to select the correct shell?
If I go by the manual, I need 6 brown and 2 greens.
