Trans rebuild finished.
Had to make another trip to my local supply house for two more bearings. neglected to check the primary side of the case and had two more upper bearings with rusty cages and races.
If you're dealing with an engine that has sat for an unknown amount of time, this is definitely an area to inspect. the gear oil level is below the higher mounted bearings and with the trans being vented, those bearings are exposed to whatever atmospheric conditions it's stored in.
Meantime gasket set and carb are in hand and both upper engine mount bushings have been replaced with new ones. 50-series sprocket has had its hub cut off and been bored out to 27mm shaft dia. Should get the engine conversion/assembly completed this week and it will then be time to align the mounts n sprockets and weld the swingarm bits in place.
