Triumph-59

[rolf-eigil]

Hello!

I am a norvegian who is a proud owner of a -59 Triumph 6T  engine number D19867 but no matching numbers. It has Morgo kit cylinder and oil pump,belt drive 25mm and twin Delorto carbs and alu cylinder head.
It didnt run when I bought it so I overhauled the magneto and look over pump and chanced the oil seal behind the cam-cover.
But there are two things that is not wright.
When I tried to align the timing pinions on the camshaft the piston touch the valves. I looked in the Haynes manual when i did it but can not find something wrong. I have owned many Triumphs befor but 20 years ago. I looked at the marks and they are right.
I may think that the cams are from an younger engine maby Bonneville or soo.
Can anybody out there help me.

The other thing I need help with is that with belt on the
primary the cluth is to wide. Do anybody now of anybody who make the distanse peac for the cover.

My english is Im afraid not so good but I understand it perfect.

 I'm sure if you get on to a more specialised Triumph site you will get all the answers you want Rolf. I also had your year and model 25 years ago and they aren't that complicated as far as timing goes. Possibly the cam lift is too radical for your piston height? I hope someone chimes in to help you. I'm sure somebody manufactures spaces for your belt drive , i just cant remember!  douglas

I think you'll find, Rolf, that engine number D19867 is a 1962 engine.
