Conrod side play?

Hi Kyle,

the clearance is .013 - .016 of an inch.

The info is located on this very site. You can type in con rod clearance on the search bar, or use this link:

http://www.nortonownersclub.org/support/technical-support-commando/conrods?searchterm=con+rod+clearance

There is quite a bit of good info in the archives of this site, I find the search bar veryusefulin getting answers. You just have to remember, the English sometimes use different terminology than we Americans use.

All the Best,
