Cheers Trigger, That's very kind, I have nearly assembled everything now and am ready to seal the cases.
If you think it is better to use the graphogen I can wait for it to arrive.
I definitely don't want to do the job twice!
I'll PM you.
Cheers
Trigger:
I would not bother as you have some assembly compound in place. Not worth a strip down.
beemsquar:
No problem, Thank you anyway. very kind of you!
Off topic but I don't suppose you could give me some advice on installing the piston rings?
I have a set of genuine Honda rings but am not totally sure which is the top and second ring.
One is slightly smaller than the other and one has a silver edge, which looks like there is a slight chamfer maybe. Im guessing this is the second ring as the Clymer manual states?
The other is a tad bigger and is completely black, Top ring? Both have a tiny N on one side which I am also guessing must be the top?
Both seem the same thickness to me, but I'm not sure.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Out of interest: would Down Corning Molykote G-N Paste serve too?

Haynes manual states that the stamped letter indicates the top of the ring.
Also has this diagram showing the ring layout:
