Simpson, I can't take credit for the labelling of these parts as they came that way when I bought the sandcast motor in the pictures. I really have the thank the po because he took great care in the way he took the motor apart. When I first saw the motor it was under a blue poly tarp in his backyard so I had big doubts about it all. I did organize them in the plastic tackle box. I have about 1/2 dozen of these boxes for various parts of the bike and motor.
I will have replaced the primary chains and tensioner, cam chain and tensioner, pistons and rings to .25 over, wrist pins and clips, all new gaskets, o rings and seals, replated all the bolts and washers for the outside of the engine, many new screws for the cases, replaced the finned oil filter cover with a smooth one, polished the engine covers and repainted the engine with Duplicolor 1615. I've sourced my local Honda dealer and ebay for most of the parts. There are some parts that may be a bit questionable but are unobtainable so I'll go with them. This motor will not see tons of miles and will end up as part of my estate for the boys to fight over. With this in mind I think I have a bit of latitude in the rebuild.
I will accept your compilments regarding organizing things though because I've been careful to do that- thanks. The tackle boxes, plastic tubs/containers and zip lock bags have helped me keep stuff in place. Now if I had a better inventory control system I wouldn't have 2 or 3 of some items!
Cliff.
