First Production 1961 Norton Manxman 650 restoration (27) Engine Bottom End Disassembly

In this video, I’m FINALLY getting around to disassembling the motor for the Norton Manxman. It’s been sitting on my workbench for years just waiting for this moment. The cylinder head put up a bit of a fight, but surprisingly everything looks to be in quite good condition underneath. There’s a lot of oil and grime, which has probably helped preserve this motor from the elements. The Mighty Garage Video Catalog https://sites.google.com/view/themigh...
