On the subject of the intermediate plate. You can check for flatness by
setting it on a piece of glass or the like. This will give you a good
idea of the flatness when it is cold. When heated up, it's harder to
tell. You may want to toss it in the oven and see if it warps when
heated. What temperature to use, I do not know but I would think that
400 degrees for an hour wouldn't do any damage. I haven't tried the oven
for this myself, as it just came to me.

I took the swingarm off my '74 and set it mostly upright but
with the tranny-input end tilted a little down. After a few days
I had oil all over my floor. Is this normal or do I need to
replace a seal somewhere?

Also, if my intermediate clutch plate is bent is it easy to
tell? I am pretty sure it is fine and can't detect any
abnormality but don't want to put it back together unless I am
sure.

Thanks
