Only a small update to keep you happy.
Firstly, all new chain guides fitted yesterday,

New thrust bearing and shells fitted, dropped the crank in and tightened up the bolts.
For some reason, there was quite alot of end float which was a bit baffling, as everything was measured by using a micrometer :? .
So off came the crank again, the old thrust bearing installed, and then everything reinstalled again, this was to check the origional end float on the crank, cam to 0.005th :?
So, vice versa, new one installed, and for some reason, don't ask, there was reduced crank end float to about 0.002th, so checked and rechecked, phoned a few guys on the Zone to make sure and all is now ok.
