Oddjob:
The 400 tended to get white marks and the 500/550 black ones. Those are really clear John. Can't mistake those.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If 550 conrods are the same as 500  ones I have a set going spare - just postage cost if it helps.

The 400s are hard enough to see after 40 years, I guess the 500/550 must be nigh on impossible,

Nurse Julie:
The very early 750/4 crank markings are in Japanese and you have a translation document to use 😱😱😱😱. Most of the time the Japanese markings are so feint, you can't decipher them at all.

Thanks Ted, that's very generous of you.  I'm still trying to work my way through it all at the moment so may take you up on the offer. 

All the roller and needle bearings feel smooth, am I OK to reuse or should I be replacing them at this stage? 

I need to decide on the most cost effective way of buying the gasket sets and oil seals.
