Tom there is nothing, I didn't expected gasket but there is no sign of a jointing compound, just a trace of light brown in one or two holes.
Oddjob, I haven't split gears yet but it all looks rather clean and there is no damage or wear a part of where bearing seat on case, I will try to post few more pictures tomorrow.
There seems to be a lot of play in primary chain, and with clocks reading 30k i'm going to replace it, but first have to free it, read somewhere about screwing one of the large engine mount bolts and slamming socket to pull it out, will try it tommorow.
I'm struggling to upload pictures, it seems that they are to big here is a link to them, i have to find a quick way to re sizing my snaps.

I have most of the gears NOS as well if it turns out you need to replace 1 or 2. Hope it's not one of the ones I'm missing as I spotted one on german E-Bay the other day and it was around £125 for just one gear.
When you split it and can check if there's any damage and if any of those parts are useful left me know as I don't expect the middle selector fork to not sell for long.

I had another closer look and i can't see any wear or damage a part of forks, but that is no way near as bad as I seen on forum.
I noticed that the fork wear is not even, and I wonder if I should be measuring the thinnest part of it rather than thicker.
I think that I'm either very lucky or blind...
Thanks a lot for the info, I couldn't get this far without this forum.
