Norton Gasket, Timing Cover
Timing cover gasket for Norton twin engines, seals the cover housing the points, oil pump, and oil pressure relief valve.
This is the timing cover gasket for a Norton twin, part number 06-1092. It seats between the timing cover and the crankcase, sealing off the area that houses the contact breaker, the oil pump, and the oil pressure relief valve. It's a simple but necessary piece — get it wrong or skip it and you're looking at oil seeping out around the cover.

This one shows up in our records tied to the Norton twin engine family, with catalog appearances spanning 1962 through 1975. It's not a Triumph part, despite living in a shop that mostly deals in Triumphs — this is Norton hardware, plain and simple.
When you pull the timing cover for points work or to get at the oil pump, this is the gasket you replace. Cheap insurance against an oil leak isn't the phrase Ed would use, but the idea's the same — don't reuse the old one if it's at all compressed or torn.
