Purchased a 74 850 engine that was rebuilt but with no valve covers or timing cover. So while waiting for parts I thought I'd take a look inside. It has been 1/2 rebuilt. Honed cylinders stock bore pistons new rings. Head has been redone with triple springs new factory valves and new Norris cam. The thing that bugs me is the fact there are remains of the inner primary gasket . So it definitely in a bike but not run!?!?!? The crank bearings are pictured below, are they inferior to what AN offers? FAG Germany A.D NU306E they appear new but brass discolored. Checked the bearings supplied from AN and they are marked X_Life Made in India.
