I have the left side together (a peek at LM's nice clutch). Does the stack on the crank look correct, before I tighten the nut with a spanner?
I've also attached a pic of my rebored and copper lined sleeves cylinder.

What's the purpose of the copper? Improved heat transfer? Improved interference fit?

Yes, copper for better better heat transfer.
I wondered about the nut, I will turn around. Thanks LM!

Thanks Graham, Correct the reason for the copper plating is to buildup O.D of stock sleeve to achieve .003 to .004" interference for good heat transfer. Honda never had much if any interference.
It's all about the little details that make these little engines really run.

Thanks, thanks for sharing that. I'm always amazed how little heat is required to get the sleeves to drop out of the barrels.

I've got a set of barrels ready with Aluminum sleeves ready for Nikasil coating. I must get them finished.

I just checked the parts manual. It looks fine. The nut is oriented correctly with the chamfer to the outside.
