Engine parts for Norton 16H

Hi all,

actually I am working on my 16H engine but I do not have a clue where to buy the following parts to make sure to receive good quality and not bad repro parts.

- Piston (complete)
- Valve guides (inlet outlet)
- Valve (inlet outlet)

Brass bearings (Cam wheel, small end of Connecting rod) also available? Or do it by myself?

In addition the surface of the cam wheels are worn off totally. Does any one know how to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot for your help in

Phillip

Re: Engine parts for Norton 16H

I bought a pair of NOS tappets and guides, plus a fork spring from a German seller at Beaulieu this year but stupidly didn't ask him for a card - he had a lot of NOS stuff.

Alain Touchet in France has a lot of NOS parts (I'm pretty sure that he has valves and guides).

Engines in the UK seem to go for anything between about £80 and £250 but of course there is no way of knowing what they're like inside. I bought three or four to build one good one. Sometimes the roughest looking engines have the best parts inside as they've been gathering dust since they were taken out in the 1950s.

I think that the best advice would be for you to cancel any engagements for the weekend of 28th / 29th April and attend the Stafford Classic Bike show. I'd be pretty confident that you'd find most of your wants list there.

Hi Phillip. I said you'd get some answers on here. Rik is a dedicated Norton man for starters. There is also another Dutch site that specialises in 16H and Big4's
Lots of information on there.(Google Norton WD 16H and Big4). Ron

This is Phillips bike.

Re: Engine parts for Norton 16H

Nice project. An early toolbox and footrests. Easier to restore as an early-war bike.

It has a civilian damper knob on the forks and a 1939 civilian centre stand from the look of it.

Are the numbers readable ?

Re: Engine parts for Norton 16H

Have the numbers not availabel today. Will check the coming week and let you know.

Go all the way and put an International engine in it!

Re: Engine parts for Norton 16H

If your cams are bad, then probably the same goes for your cam followers?
I have some NOS cams and cam followers, but with some surface rust.
Piston: I still have some STD ones, all NOS.
Where abouts in Germany are you?

Re: Engine parts for Norton 16H

Hello Phillip,

Just going through the forum and saw your item.
The number you give for the frame is not correct.
On my website (wdnorton.nl) you can see where to look for it.
The number your give is a casting number.

The engine numbers are clearly pre-war if they indeed do not show the W prefix.
67528 could be part of contract C9681 (deliveries starting March 1937)
71469 may be a civilian number of 1937.

cheers,

Rob

Hi rob,

Re: Engine parts for Norton 16H

I've had a quick look through the very fuzzy copies that I have from, some factory record pages. 67536 was a Model 19 despatched with a Bosch magneto on 16/5/1936 but I haven't found 67528.

If you can wait until April, I'll find them for you in the ledgers !
