Got all the parts in (I hope, we'll find out) for the top end for my '17 Husky FE501, wondering if anybody has any tips for anything else I should do/check while in there for these bikes? Got the piston, rings, timing chain, spark plug, gaskets, dowel pins, etc. Water pump seal was already replaced recently. Engine has ~325 hours on it, have reliable service history from the previous owner and valves have only needed to be adjusted once in that time, and I've been told the stainless valves on these bikes last forever, so was maybe going to leave those alone.
Example of what I'm hoping to skip is something like the lesson I learned when I did the top end on my '05 CRF 450x, gotta to buy replacements for the dowels that locate the cylinder, they sometimes go crooked when removing the cylinder so you can't properly re-install it, and can't get them out/re-positioned (or at least I couldn't) without destroying them.
Thanks!
