Fitted the cylinders after centering the front cam chain guide , and set it at tdc with the cam chain tight on the crankshaft and even at the ends . I then fitted the cylinder head after spraying the gasket with copper coat, put new bearings on the camshaft as far in as they would go and installed the cam with the notch vertical and the dot flush with the mating surface and joined the chain together with it all lined up at tdc. Next I applied a light coat ot permatex to the rocker cover and put it on hand tightening the acorn nuts with new brass washers on the outer four, then installing the points and govener housings without the gaskets and o-rings to ensure the bearings had centred before removing the housings and fitting the gaskets and o-rings then re fitted them and torqued the nuts in four stages to 30ftlbs . I will re-torque tomorrow once I get the engine in the frame. Also fitted the clutch basket with the jis screws replaced with the upgrade Allen head bolts and alloy sleeves, had fun refitting the kick start mechanism, put the clutch case on and installed the starter motor with a new seal on it. While I had the cases apart I replaced 5th gear with the overdrive upgrade and foundnothing to indicatewhy it was jumpingout of 2nd gear but the star selector slightly uneven which I adjusted.
Back to it when I can.
