xb33bsa said:"out of round" tells us nothing,there is a very specific procedure for checking the crank berarings for radial clearance and also for concentricity of the crank unit as it is a built up crank

Redliner said:NO sandblasting the cases.
Assemble the cases top and bottom, as well as the side covers and the parts attached to those that you wish to paint. Leave the jugs and top end off. Close all exposed threaded holes, blind holes, mating surfaces and other holes with Frog tape. It's green painters tape, best you'll find at a typical hardware store.
You basically want the interior of the cases completely sealed before media blasting. Using dry media will make the primer cling to the cases for good. Using vapor blasting on the jugs and top end will prevent oxidation and maintain a bare look. I prefer not to paint the top end because the mix of heat and occasional oil drop make it very tough to keep looking new. Carb cleaner will eat it right up and now your only option is to tear it down and start again.
It has been done before, so don't be discouraged if that's what you're looking for.

Saturdays Wrench said:- I still need these parts I have marked in red for the install correct?
Saturdays Wrench said:- I've read that you may need to shave some rubber from the OEM cam sprocket.. Is this correct or only in certain situations?
Saturdays Wrench said:- I've also read that the install is a bitch because the chain is super tight, is this normal? Any recommendations on what to expect?
Saturdays Wrench said:- The head has been machined to fit the new KA slipper so I'm good on that end
Saturdays Wrench said:- I have the flat sided Tsubaki chain, so I should be good there
