Wow now thats a bolt list!!! Getting close to taking the engine out of the frame. It is starting to get pretty bare. I think i will wait and mess with making this centerstand right when I get closer to repainting the frame then I can do whatever welding before I paint. Time to focus on the engine!
I used Z-paste cam assembly lube on the top end, cam chain tensioners. I got it from eastwood, but it seems they no longer stock it.

House of Kolor Oriental blue candy over a HOK metajules base would give you that classic Honda Hawaiian blue color with a bit of extra show quality BLING!
Their Tangerine can't be beat for a killer orange either... From what I saw of your other bikes, you can pull off a good paint job...
Well finally draining the oil out getting ready to take the engine out of the frame. Boy does an impact screw driver really pay off. I figured I would loosen all the side cover bolts while it was still in the frame for support. That screw driver was the best 10 bucks ever.
Well got the engine out and started removing parts. One of the tappet inspection hole plugs broke but not in the engine thank god. There are all kinds of them on ebay.
Well just the forks left to take off the front then it is all stripped down! Engine gaskets and seals arrived today so I will tear the engine down this week and bead blast the jugs. Paint the case and jugs then start reassembly .
I borrowed a hone from the garage, to hone cylinders. It had a broken stone but it worked great and was just the right size.
Upon recommendation from PJ, Frogman, etc I drilled out these journals...1/32 larger. I used the pencil attachment on the dremel. to fit straight next to the head stud.
Also, I drilled and chamfered these holes in the clutch basket. I just used a bit that fit between the grooves (teeth) around the outside. And dremel to chamfer.
