500 cylinder height

My three measurable barrels vary in height between 4.250" and 4.240", but have a consistent height individually. At least within the accuracy of a pair of nice calipers measured half a dozen times around each, not on an inspection table with a height gauge, or any actual measuring protocol. All are dynamo and spigotted, and relatively clean.

I don't have a case in a measurable state right now.
 
All the heavyweight twin crankcases should be the same height from main bearing c/l to barrel bottom face. It would have been an unnecessary change for Norton to make them different.
