Cleaning cleaning and more cleaning

Amazing what we do with our leisure hours on a Saturday. 8 hours of scrubbing parts and cases.
Today I ...
Stripped the clutch and inspected the cushion rubbers (see pic). Cleaned and did a 'practice' assembly with new friction plates.
stripped, cleaned and tested the oil pump - AOK.
stripped and cleaned the rocker boxes - awaiting o-rings to re-assemble.
stripped the oil pressure relief valve and the oil pressure switch.
cleaned and blew out the oil junction thingy.
stripped and cleaned the timing side cover.
Replaced the kickstart shaft and cotter pin. Unfortunately the cotter pin drives almost right through the hole. This is weird as ALL parts are new. Most odd.
cleaned out the oilways in the cases.
soaked and cleaned the primary chain.
Soaked the big chain.
Gazed at the empty frame wishing I could ride it.
