Just picked up a nice 850 Commando which has an oil leak from the head gasket area on the #1 cylinder. I noticed the head surface was a bit poc marked, wanted youe opinions if I should have my machinist mill it out or not. Thank you for your feedback,
Jon

If its not flat then get it milled but Norton heads do not bend, a few marks will not affect a seal on a properly annealed copped head gasket.
