[QUOTE="Matty, post: 5936, member: 1339"] Thanks to all for the advice - in fact I feel rather stupid, because I failed to notice that the information I needed on valve timing is given on page 117 of Paul Richardson's book. My version has no edition number by the way and I bought it in 1956 with the bike. I had missed this because pages 115-118 are in the 1000 cc part of the text which I had never read, assuming they did not apply to the 500cc Comet. (I am an Engineer after all and so hardly ever read instructions in any case!!!!) With your help however and the cam profile figures given I can now easily sort out my timing, but it will be interesting to see how the marks on the crank pinion line up with the correct cam positions. Thanks again. Matty [/QUOTE]
