Any suggestions what to look out for?
matthewmosse:
I've not got around to look at mine yet, but selector fork wear or dogs and the selector drum are all suspect - think the drum is reputed to wear on the 500 but think that was revised on the 550.

I can second everything that Oddjob said and i worked on them for a living in the 70's

So, after few months I finally had a bit of time to get back to my bike.
I finally split the engine and i'm trying to assess what needs to be done, a part of washing sand away.
For the start it looks like there is no seal in between crankcases, should there be one??

Jointing compound... no gasket if that's what you meant.
