NOTE. Standard A7's after Engine No. CA7 5282 and Standard A10’s After Engine No. DA10 1647 have the same camshaft as the S/S and R/R machines and valve timing is therefore the same.

 

 

PISTON CLEARANCES

 

To avoid the possibility of seizure or piston tap, pistons must be fitted with adequate but not excessive clearance.

The following are the recommended total clearances between the bottom of the piston and the cylinder wall.
