Well spotted

check the first four part letters/number and it should tell you if you need to change it sh1t

got a bit more done and nearly turning the corner on this to rebuild time , just waiting for the various covers to come back from coating , anything i should check while i have the covers off .?

Good stuff

I'd take the opportunity to check your valve clearances, fit a front vaccum take-off nipple, fit/check manual cam chain tensioners.

Also, fit some Hi-Comp pistons, Mori cams, Mori heads, lightweight flywheel...

What's next on your list?

Yes chain tensioners will be done would love to pep the motor a bit but there's still enough umph to get me in trouble in this standard lump :-D, new clutch plates are needed and what does anybody know about the keevlar plates on eBay?? Anygood??. Then finish the rebuild ready for some thrash B-)

I've heard the EBC kits are good quality, but I can't say I've seen the eBay kevlar kits.

The standard motor is great as it is I just have a lightened flywheel and a couple of other non HP mods.

Keep up the good work dude
