Re: Matchless G3 engine rebuild

Tom I don't think the compression plate was ever fitted to a G3 as standard. Ron

Re: Matchless G3 engine rebuild

Happy days then. I take it then G3L engine was a de-tuned version of the G3, hence the smaller carb and lower compression ratio?

Perzacly!! The plate is listed in the G3L spares lists only. I think some of the early WOG3's also had the pre war high lift cams fitted. Ron

Re: Matchless G3 engine rebuild

Agree - my G3WO did not have the plate AND this model was recognised as being much nippier than its successor. Alas, it was also about the same awkward lump to work on!
