1972 Norton Commando Combat, Replacing a leaking head gasket

In this video we change the head gasket finally that we discovered on the ride My father and I took last summer after the Davenport swap meet.

I've never had a Norton before. Seems like a weird design as far as the push rods go. On the Triumph 650's and 750s you take off the rocker box and you have access to the push rods...as you guys know. It's pretty easy.

Yea it looks a lot harder than it really is and after you do it a few times it's really quite easy. Although triumphs look easier to do, but they seem more involved especially 1970 and earlier models. But we enjoy both Nortons and Triumphs. I will add I like how Nortons don't have separate rockerboxes to deal with.

@@jessesvintagegarage765 Looks like there's no push rod tube or push rod tube seals to deal with... so that's a plus in the Norton column.
