replace all the seals,their cheap and its not worth re-using them.check run out with the cam plate removed (don't laugh,some guys check with the plate on),after reassembly,make sure to align the pump.torque all cam plate bolts,leaving the pump bolts loose,then in 5 or 6 gear,rotate motor about 4-5 revolutions,then torque oil bump bolts
Thanks all.
I didnt even thin about the tensioners since i was trying to get rid of the chain. If the run out is beyond .003 i will need to continue to deal with them.
the more i look at the job. The more i think the bike will just need to be down for a week or so. I'd need to pull the push rods, rockers blah blah, might as well do the cylinders and all and not waste the gaskets. So i will tear it down. Test to run out, order parts based on the reading, then let the bike sit until all the good arrive. Fun times.

I wouldn't go gear drive unless the crank was secure.
It can shift at any time and the chain set up is more forgiving.

help me understand what you are saying. Why would it, the crank, shift? Bushings? Bearings?
