Sesman:
Thought as much. I’ve never seen it in all the engine rebuild posts I’ve seen. Awaiting an avalanche of corrections now…..

The engine sounds absolutely mint by the way. Just a nice soft rustling from the top end and no knocks from the bottom end under load.

Gonna thrash it next year.

Oddjob:
Not uncommon to see all the crank holes the same in the cases, seen quite a few with letters all the same and the same with the cranks, seen a few of those as well but both together? not seen that as far as I can recall.

I have some if you need them, got more than 10 IIRC.

Cheers, ill ping you a DM to see what we can do with the yellows 👍

Bryanj:
The 400 i recently did for comfy had all the cases the same and all the pins the same, discussing it with Trigger last time we met we came to the conclusion that Honda got better at machining as time went on, or bought new machinery

Finished painting some casings over the weekend. Not 100% happy with the finish. Used Simoniz Matt Alum Engine Enamel spray but found it a bit runny and the cold weather probably didn't help. Any specific tips on how to get the best finish?
