Cleaning up and I find two small metal pieces. Oh, shit. They're the dowel pins that are supposed to install with the shifter cover. Arggggggg.... are these things important enough that I really have to disassemble the whole thing again to put them in?
AFAIK, they're just present to make it easier to put the cover in place, as they locate it and hold it there while you slip the bolts in. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it - just install them next time you take the cover off to change the countershaft sprocket or clean the accumulated chain spooge out.
