An update from previous topic seen here:
www.650rider.com/index...pic&t=6038

Parts are back from paint/powder coat. See below.
I completely disassembled everything first. I removed the clutch and alternator covers, oil filters, cables etc from the engine, hoping to do a basic refresh and leave the internals alone. Only 8,000 miles but no luck, there was a bit of plastic and aluminum in the (torn) sump filter, then a bunch more in the other filter. So now the head has to come off and a new cam guide has to go in. Is there anything else I should do while I'm in that deep? Also can any of the gaskets be reused (provided they come off in one piece of course)?
Everything black is powdercoat, the yellow is a basecoat/ clearcoat from a late model Corvette.
