What do you need a video for?
1.) Put it on the center stand.
2.) Take off the head covers.
3.) Put the bike in 5th gear.
4.) Pull the plugs.
5.) Rotate the motor by rolling the tire ( in it's normal operating direction) until the intake valve opens then closes.
4.) Stick a Chop Stick (Wooden chop sticks are very fibrous and if it should break it will not leave a hunk in the cylinder) in the spark plug hole.
7.) Slowly bump motor with the tire until the piston is at the very top of it's stroke. (no pressure on either rocker, the chop stick will show you when it is at it's very top).
8.) Slide you feeler gauge though the gap between rocker arm and the top of the valve. I set them to .010mm intake and .015mm Exhaust.  However you can     find about 30 threads on here the either agree or disagree with the spec.  I go by the manual but some like wider airgaps. make sure you feel firm resistance while sliding the gauge through the air gap.
9.) Replace the head cover, lately I've been using a Mercedes Benz sealer instead of the gaskets because we have experienced gasket failures, but you don't have to you can use a stock gasket, to each his own, if it don't leak you are good to go.
10.) Torque the head cover screws to 10 nm.
11.) Replace the plugs.
12.) Start it and ride.

The pain in the arse with the early Norges is the fragility and odd assembly of the fairings. You have to pull the belly pan and lowers from memory and then you can lift the tank a bit and get the covers off.

On the gasket issue? Have you tried the Valpolini gaskets? The importer here is now bringing these in in stead of the factory ones due to repeated failures. I can't commen on their efficacy as I've only just got a couple of sets in, haven't even opened the box to look at 'em yet.

Very cool and straightforward.  (The second #4 is meant to be #6, yes?)

guzzi ride:
One more tip... use a ball head type Allen wrench to remove/install valve cover bolts.
Also try to use your palm of your hand, or soft rubber mallet, to break the cover loose as opposed
to prying them up.
