What parts are you going to order? I will have to get (obviously) replacement gaskets. A complete replacement screw set would be nice too.
Are you planning on a rebuild as well? If so, go ahead and order the 14mm bushing that the kickstart gear rides on. ( http://www.classichondarestoration.com/ ... od_66.html ). I've torn down two engines so far and found both bad. Gaskets of course, seals also. You'll want to inspect your cam chain followers to see what shape their in. I believe that's about it, unless you're going for an exstensive rebuild including valves and such...
Oh there's a guy on ebay that sells stainless cover screws, just know that the set does not include EVERY screw, but most. The price is great for what ya get.

FYI - Mine were soaking in various penetrants for almost 2 months and NO movement.
I fab'd a puller/pusher out of 1/4" steel plate to try and get the pistons to move.
Drilled 4 holes to go over the studs then used sockets to put on top of the pistons and crank down the nuts over the stud bolts.
After 3 days alternating between pistons finally have them moved down (actually the cylinder is moving up) approx an inch! took a lot of work to get this far, hopefully another few days and they will be free.

soaking, cranking and pounding...
