Well. I talked to my friendly local engineer who has spent a lot of time in Norton motors and he said. " mmmm. Well it's all a matter of degree. " so not a very definitive answer but as he said you would need to measure carefully to see just how much a problem there really was.Firstly he said it's not too difficult to get the facing of the followers wrong and get an angle on them. So that probably means someone has been here before.If it's not too bad and it's only a short run weekend bike you could just put it back together again.On the other hand refacing the followers, installing them the right way round probably should have a new cam.He said the 2S cam on a combat is a reasonably high wear area. He recommended careful inspection of rocker geometry and how the rocker works on the valve. It can be poor even on original bikes.
