Welcome to the forum.

There was a change to the lubrication system sometime in '61/'62 and the barrels changed. After that the differences are just cosmetic such as a change to die casting from sand casting.


This a late style gasket on an early crankcase.....

There was a change on the last barrels for the narrower can chain adjuster. On my 67 its marked just 305cc.
