Dont muck about thinking of whether to open the engine up to look at the plates just do it, and dont just look at then take them out and give them a visual, then measure them on a glass plate with feeler guages checking for trueness, or just buy new plates anyway they are not exactly dear.
P.S. my gixer had some cork pads missing, new plates sorted that and the draging and trouble getting into 1st gear.
