Norton Engine Data
The table below shows data for Norton singles from 1928 to 1955.
A couple of notes:
-
Valve and ignition timing given in inches for all models except the 30 and 40, these are given in degrees.
-
Notation for valve timing as follows:
-
IO - Inlet Opening (Before TDC)
-
EC - Exhaust Closing (After TDC)
-
-
When tappet clearances are given as ‘zero’ pushrods should be free to rotate with no perceptible up and down movement.
-
Tappet clearances are running clearances and taken when cold. Clearances for setting valve timing may vary from these figures. Consult your manual to confirm.
