Good to hear. Where did you get the cams?

The cams are from a local engineering shop, making classic motocross bikes, with special frames à la Rickman and Matchless competition single engines. Don't know the exact specs, but visually "lumpier".

here are long conrod [ on left] and short conrod pistons for comparison, note that the short conrod piston is a little shorter and also has an indent to clear the flywheels.

Very clear difference!

Thanks for the picture itma. Make it look like my piston is correct. I will get some rings for it and reassemble and see how it goes. After all it was running fine before the tappets tightened up. Cheers, Matthew.
