A month ago, I found this laying on the bike lift.
Last night, realized it is a carb slide locating pin. Amal Premiers, loose fit. Contact cement to re-attach

After re-reading the thread, I realized I skipped some parts. Just a follow up/clarification.
The oversize lifters supplied by Andover Norton to the shop doing the cylinder machine work, (also head freshening) were tested on the Hardness tester, found to be "soft", and condemned.
To keep the project moving, I consulted Dude Wheeler(RIP) at Gate City Cycles. He just happened to have an 850 cylinder complete with lifters, and sold it to me a very fair price. Had him send it out his preferred local machine shop to fit the first oversize pistons.
Since, the oversize lifters 2.0 have come, the cylinder lifter bores machined to suit, (as well as the piston bores, new pistons) and are in my spares box.

I too am glad you caught it. I would like to know what prompted you to go that deep into the engine to find it. Being there was no noise was there another symptom. I never disassembled an engine that far for an inspection. If there was an indication I would like to know what it is so I can watch out for it. In a month or so I plan start on a '74 Roadster project. Disassembling the engine was not in the plans, maybe I should. Thanks
You should split the cases if for no reason other than to use some 3 Bond grey and reseal the crancases. I do on mine and get zero oil leaks. none.
