Oddjob:
That looks correct, if it's fitted to the crankcase and thus pushing up against the clutch you won't get any more movement than that unless something is really wrong. The punch marks line up so that means it's in the right position. To get more movement you're going to need the cable attached.
juitz:
Brilliant, thanks!
Maybe I'm been over cautious but I'm dreading having to split the cases cause I missed something.
Oddjob:
The only thing I recall about the 550 clutch was telling people not to move the lever when the casing was off the engine as it would go past the fulcrum point and the internal lever used to over reach and you had to struggle to get it to go back into position without dismantling the mechanism.
juitz:
I'm just lapping the valves but one of the valve seats has some slight pitting - this was cylinder that was corroded/seized.
I've lapped it once but hasn't really cleaned up the surface. More concerned about the pitting though.
K2-K6:
I'd say that cylinder has had a ring let go at some point, given the imoact damage that's visible.
Looks like tge head would need to be skimmed also to reasonably establish proper sealing of head gasket etc.
The seats look damaged either from impact or fairly chunky corrosion effects.
