i should just add that the price is for the Big End and Mains.

Hi Oddjob, I totally take your point.  Incidently I only had to send the crank and the letters from the crankcase.  SEP have all the measurements to work out the clearances.  I guess my problem was that I could not be 100% sure of the big end markings and this route provided me with a bit of peace of mind!  If I could have been sure of the code mapping there would have been no need as you say.

Regards, Jamie

Yep the conrod marks weren't there.  I could read the marks of the crank lobe- they were all 4's but there was nothing on the conrods, that was after cleaning with petrol and using a Inspector Clouseau type magnifying glass :-)

We'll see what happens anyway.  Loads of spanner mates down here who swear by SEP.  Ill keep you updated !

P.S Bryan had sent me the Honda service bulletin so I knew where to look!  Bryan also said the the marks are etched onto the conrod half but I could see bu££er all!

Crank can be sent for £10 or so, you could probably send the cases too for that price. For my part I'd think it was woth the expence to know it's right.
