Thanks for the feedback. I'll match the grease up to some we have at work and get those done, seals will be changed.

As for the half rings, that's (hopefully) the price for the rings that go on the downpipe (with the clamp to the head), rather than valve rings. However, I do need to close up some clearances on the valve shims, so will attempt the upside down trick before re-shimming.

Swing arm is stripped down now ready for powder coating. The rear caliper bracket has cleaned up nicely, so that will be staying as is. I did hit a slight snag when removing the chain guards on the upper and lower side of the swing arm. Upper came off fine, but the allen bolts holding the lower one to the swing arm had corroded badly. Two of the three bolts came out, but the last one wasn't budging. In the end the threaded insert in the swing arm started turning instead of the bolt. Fortunately it's the underside and out of view, as it had to be ground off flush with the swing arm.
