Norton piston and barrel assembly with no ring compressor 

Thanks Jim a nice alternative to the "wooden tuning fork " we had to make back in the 60's

Very clean, very efficient. I wish that I had taken the time to do a full review of the engine assembly line while I was working at Marsden Rd. I was tasked with writing the workshop manual for the 850 but we used John Hudson's shop assembly procedures and they were probably more appropriate for field workshops. The engine build was just behind the experimental shop -- so close, so available ... then the wind swept over it all and it was gone. Thanks for the clear thought and the excellent video.

I enjoyed the Dinah Washington as much as the build tips. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant! I get the feeling Jim has done this one or two times before, ha. I immediately subscribed. Tank you for taking the time to share your techniques, very much appreciated.

Thank you very much for this demonstration!
