UPDATE: 7-28-15
I got my gaskets in and started the rebuild. Crank case is together and shifts flawlessly. I had to re try with the sealant like 3 times because it was such a bitch to get the forks to line up!Follow my custom build thread! (check first post for major updates and to sell me parts!)

Also there is the air tank with it. I think nitrogen goes in it but not sure. Any insight is welcome.
EDIT - JK I figured it out.-Steve

UPDATE: 8-4-15
Well I ended up putting the engine together outside of the cams (sitting in but need timing down and bolted down) about a week ago but as it was I have been super busy so I haven't touched it since. I plan on doing the timing and putting on the extra bolt ons (alt, starter, clutch, etc) as well.
I need to order exhaust bolts as I busted one of them and I don't want to risk placing old bolts in for such a cheap cost. So once I order the bolts and they come in I will try to get it up and started on the engine stand with a fan blowing into the oil cooler.
One concern I ran into was some slight pitting on one of the cylinders. I do not know if I just missed it before or if it happened as I was waiting on parts. I doubt it would happen that fast. The pitting not terrible but I will do a pressure check and see if there is a leak and if so I will most likely look for a replacement cylinder sleeve.Follow my custom build thread!

UPDATE: 8-12-15
I put most of the engine and clutch together - the alt and starter.
Gonna be a month or so before anything major happens due to change in job and going to columbus for training/lapse in paychecks.
Will be doing anything I can that doesn't involve money for the next month.Follow my custom build thread! (check first post for major updates and to sell me parts!)

Hey guys just an update. I am still here, with the new job training I have been out of town and have not been able to do much. I will hopefully get back to it in the next two weeks.
I haven't given up lol.Follow my custom build thread! (check first post for major updates and to sell me parts!)

Question: I have the entire engine together and pulled the clutch basket out. As I turn the transmission (not the crank) I hear a odd metal on metal noise about twice per rotation.
I felt in the hold of the crank case through where the clutch basket would be and felt the rod the transmission forks sit on. I could put pressure on it and it would stop the noise with rotation.
All gears work, spins freely in N and doesn't seem like an issue but the noise doesn't seem normal. I can take a video if it would help but does anyone know what this could be. I REALLY don't want to have to split the case again lol.Follow my custom build thread! (check first post for major updates and to sell me parts!)
