Okey Dokey,
I have all of the gaskets and seals. I have draw-filed both case halves, cleaned every part and will begin reassembly tonight.
I found out on the earlier rebuild(if you want to call it that), some idiot(read my previous posts and you will see why I call this person an idiot) also cranked down the cylinder on the cam spindle, cracking and bending it. It looks reusable, so I am going to fire the spindle head, reshape it, and tig weld the crack. If it doesn't work, off to the dealer I go.....again.....
We'll see how that goes, so I am going to finish the lower end tonight and reassemble the cylinder tomorrow.

OK, so far, this engine on the previous rebuild:
1) bent and cracked cam spindle
2) destroyed and reshaped and rebalanced crank counterweights
3) screwdriver pried case halves
4) screwdriver pried cylinder
5) completely screwed up carburetor(removed o-ring and washer from air idle screw, frozen plunger on fuel valve, completely wrong jetting)
6) engine bearing set from CHINA!!!! :ohmy:
7) grooved out clutch basket
All of these things have been either repaired or replaced as of now.
---Note, I went ahead and ordered and received a new cam spindle from service honda, it needed replacing, the HPP system works smoothly now.
