Brian — I had the same imprint from the end of the swinging arm on my inner primary case. I fitted an extra gasket (approx. 15 or 20 thou, can't remember) between the crankcase and the inner primary and re-shimmed the inner case against the stud on the cradle. This helped to create a small amount of clearance. Why not try making a second gasket, bolting it up temporarily and with no pressure on the mounting stud on the cradle. Then, with a feeler gauge between the end of the swinging arm and the inner case, see if you have some clearance. If you have a gap, however small, it should help prevent the chain from rubbing as well. But I guess the chain has worn its own clearance by now! I assume you have a standard 530. I run a heavy duty 530 which is slightly wider. If the primary is apart, it's an opportunity to try this out. I checked very carefully that the extra shimming did not interfere with anything. In my case, it was OK, but of course, it's a point to bear in mind.
