You're going to need to put the cases briefly together to inspect shift dog clearance/engagement. I put a couple of nuts finger tight on the bottom to keep them together. Put your shift drum/kick start spindle stopper hardware in and check the gears with a flashlight through the oil pump opening. When you put the shift drum stopper bolt in, make sure you only see the gear through the hole(2nd photo) and not the kick start spindle(3rd photo). You'll hit the spindle before the bolt bottoms out if you don't rotate it out of the way.

Next I laid the crank in. Pay attention and make sure your dowels are in before you proceed. The one race has an oil feed hole that needs properly lined up to feed the roller bearings. The photo doesn't show it but I put the camchain on the bottom of the crank and threaded it through, tieing it off with some wire.

I installed the oil seals on the right side in preparation of joining the cases. I use Hondabond on my cases and the crank and main shaft seals.

Cases are together. The crank seal kept pushing out and it took 3 times of loosening and tightening before it stayed in. Ed (Loud Mouse) told me he installs his oil seals clean and dry with no sealer. The sealer makes the surface slick and when tightening down the big crank seal can push out. I now will install all my seals with no sealer. (Thanks Ed)

Hey Tom,

Any updates on this? It was gung ho for a while. I enjoy all the details you put into your posts.

Joe, I was a bad boy. I accidentally deleted my photos on the camera with the top end assy and I didn't get back with the detailed assy. The top end is back on along with the cam chain and I am getting painting done along with more parts back from the plater.

Regards- Tom

I found a few pictures to post from the past 2 weeks. The first was my advance assy sprocket was loose at the rivets. I tack it on one side to secure it while I drill and tap two 6mm holes and run a short threaded 6mm screw that I remove the head and slot the end. I leave it recessed on both ends then weld it closed to keep the advance assy secure to the sprocket. I replaced the advance springs with some NOS ones I had.
