I think I've read that on xs650.org, I'm really hoping I've done no lasting damage now, there's certainly no visible damage. I defiant recommend a gas bbq to bake though, it's no where near controllable enough and mine smoked leaving marks on the new finish with the lower half. Top half came out of the oven having been raised to 200°c for 2hrs looking perfect, no sign of any micro bubbles, my parrot loved it because it meant he got to spend the day in the living room away from any dodgy fumes. That paint stinks when baked!
DomP:
Nearly done with painting the crankcase etc, the minor disaster with the bubbling lower case seems to be resolved. One thing I've been meaning to mention is the camchain wear on the sides of the case, I've not seem this mention as a place for wear before, is this normal?

Not common, bring the tensioner complete with you when you come up and i will check it out for you

It explains the silvery non magnetic sump residue
DomP:
I have a few questions regarding o rings that may not be in, or may need upgrading from the Vesrah full gasket set, namely the oil jet o rings that I've read may need to be thicker than those supplied and will I get the small o ring for the camchain guide mounting bolt? I know I'll need new pucks (pontefract cakes) and oil pump orings from Julie.
