DomP:
I'll take them off tonight then, looking at the shop manual there's nothing in their place which makes me wonder what takes up the slack? I've written a list of bits I think I need at this stage-
Cam chain £35, Ken
Primary chain £48.40, Kawasaki
Primary dampers £6.41 each, DSS
Vesrah full gasket set £94.80, DSS
oil seal set £?
Piston set, Cruizinimage or DSS
Cam chain dampers £10.69, DSS
Valve stem seals £24, DSS
Hondabond £20
Any opinions or additions to on that list so far?

Valve stem seals come in the gasket set Dom but, the head sealing rubbers (pucks) do not ;)
Oil pump o'ring kit from julie.
You will not know until you fully assess what you need at the full strip stage but, any short cuts and these engines bit back ;)

Yes, everything needs to be plasti-gauged up to work out all the clearances.
All gear box bearings need to be checked they are running feely and are not worn. The gear change dogs are with in spec and so on ;)
