Thanks Luddite
Note: Ducati used 2 types of SKF bearing in production for this application, one was a higher heat spec but unnecessary for this application as it falls within the design criteria of the lower heat bearing - if you feel you want the higher heat bearing let me know. Additional cost is + £20.00
Above quote from Exact fit ebay advertisement for bearings for 999 - a watercooled 4 valver (would probably run cooler but with more revs and a probably a higher load 4 admittedly smaller valves per camshaft vs 2 valves per camshaft) so not quite the same as my airhead.
Pondering overnight I think I will stick with non C3 but check them regularly.

Last night I re-created my ETTC schedule ( previous one lost when my computer went bang). In summary,
Engine work requires 16 hours to completion
Wiring 33.5
Painting 48
Assembly 41.5
Total 139 hours to completion
More than I had hoped but a realistic estimate
