Hi Ashimoto
I've already found them thanks - they're a big help. Together with the Clymer manual I feel well prepared.

I’ve been distracted by a number of house and car jobs that needed doing but I finally got around to splitting the cases today. I’d removed the sump previously and thought one of the bolts was missing. Now its on the bench I’ve found that the bolt has been overtightened and the head has snapped off. I’ve removed broken studs before but I’m going to farm this out I’m not 100% confident with this one.
Other than that there are no obvious horrors. I’ll carry out a proper inspection in the next few days but so far I know I need to replace the primary chain.

Thankfully the markings on the crank are clear and the code on the back of the crankcase is B B B B B

The crankcase shells look generally ok to me apart from number 2 lower and possibly 2 upper which have a score marks although I’d welcome honest opinions.
So if needed I reckon the mains are B3 Black, B2 Brown, B1 Green, B2 Brown, B3 Black and big ends all 2A Yellow.
Hopefully getting the frame and bits back from powder coating this week, will feel like its really underway then. In the meantime I’ll keep chipping away at the cylinder base gasket which is resisting removal.

Alan these shells look as if there got a bit of life in them yet! I’m not an expert and like you I would be seeking expert info or comments.

Agree they look good, a few obscure marks as you note for that #2 that you may want to change out of preference.
Reality from those says it's been exceptionally well serviced in regard to oil condition in it's life, they are near exemplary in showing very very minor running in witness marks.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Those crankshaft codes are so clearly visible it's like a new engine - sure sign of regular oil changes imho.
