He makes one feel like a total dumbass...on top of that 😐😁

@@randersson3672 You're not wrong. I've watched the Missenden Flyer interviewing him and he just amazes me. No plans, apart from in his head, no drawings, nothing. He just 'sees it working' and builds what he sees in his head. The man is incredible.

I can’t get over how AM takes a saw to two perfectly good engines and makes engineering porn. No disrespect to Kawasaki engineers but why did they not extend their wonderful fours into even more wonderful six bangers.

We must have old souls, since you can spot guys like this instantly. Humility + mastery is part of it.

Who is Bob Ross? LOL

And then must make new races for the piston rings….done! As you do.

I wonder how many times the gasket can be reused?

@@43mackmobile If annealed properly each refit, it'll probably outlast the bike.

Its the purists, The V12 and 6 Kwaka's ruffled some of them. God bless you Mr Millyard.

simple Knockdolian12 theres 146 people that don't understand genius level mechanical engineering

Jealousy is a curse, my friend.

proper bloke he is. and not against some dad work, you gotta like the guy.

There are morons in all walks of life or they have fat fingers and pressed the wrong one. I dislike Milly the way he uses a hand hacksaw, he makes me look pathetic 😂😂😂

His Masters Voice Well, HMV, don’t keep us all in suspense. If you know better than Allen, give us the benefit of your superior knowledge, rather than just trying a put-down. Treatment of magnesium is not an easy process, but it needs some kind of protection. Les

Damn, I want to BE him lol

@His Masters Voice honda did.....he shouldn't.

He my never be your dad, but ha can be your KZfaq buddy.

Mine was but not with his aircraft background. He got me into fixing/ rebuilding cars and to this day I go to yard to get used parts either cheaper or that are no longer made.

Mind you, Allen's XL engine has a VFR750 piston, an oversized liner & Kawasaki rings, so I imagine Michelangelo's door frames were a bit special as well...

.. true.. Once I got into the video I realized it wasn't so ordinary..

@@enhancesoutheast5964 Allan Millyard doesn't do ordinary Lol

This ist a very different comparison with Michelangelo. Leonardo da Vinci is real better, by constrution of Mechanik Maschines and Systems.

well said

Hi Allan não domino seu idioma, mas esse tal de lockdown tá no mundo inteiro

Dear allaid wow thank you for doing what I was told too be touch much in NZ ?

And don’t take that poison vaccine. It will kill you faster than the “virus “. It’s all about control

@@hondaxl250k0 So true, lost a good friend with a blood clot from the oxford vaccine and he had zero health issues before. Don't know about control, incompetence and over reaction driven by personal avarice more likely.

Delusional gibberish

@@jessiepooch I do not respond to trolls normally but I will simply state....Paul Cosgrove MSc MM. Look me up.

@@paulcosgrove6160 I will simply state... Google says "No results found for "Paul Cosgrove MSc MM".

Now I have another reason to upgrade my BBQ!

I'm surprised its a bought one and he didn't make it, on second thoughts maybe he did, he makes everything else look like it came out of a factory.

@Mr Brightside Try getting the smell of chain grease out of the kitchen when the boss is on the way home from shopping.

Thankyou

I got mine around 1980 with low miles, but same thing, it required no maintenance. I might have adjusted the tappets just for fun, because I like to do that sort of thing.

Did you mean Toolmaker, same as I am?

No problem you're fired and black balled from The Machinist trade

I left the chuck key in once.... only once

@@nearsightedfromthefarside6534 I did that in metalwork class at school in 1971. As you say - only once!

@@nearsightedfromthefarside6534 I was swapping a 4 jaw for a three jaw chuck. Just fitted the 3 jaw and tea break bell sounded, off I went. Came back and switched on the lathe.......chuck shot across the floor. Never locked the chuck in place.

Can you draw stick figures with a pencil on paper ..if not forget it.

Loved this video. 👍

If they are Millard fans it's great news. Think of the weight saving, plus now have an economical Honda V3 with integral cup holder!

What makes you think the clutch cover is magnesium

Yeah, he put a piston with 4 valve relief cuts in a 2 valve engine. WTF? I pity that poor combustion chamber... Back in my misspent youth when I raced an XL-175 I replaced the piston with one from a CB-350. Higher compression!

Just piston rings. He used the honda piston

Im sure Allen would have worked out if this was an Interference Engine and if there were any clearance issues beforehand.

@@mightress yeah but its a 4 valve piston in a 2 valve head.

@@michaelhayward7572 makes no difference for the rings, they just sit in a groove. Nothing to do with the shape of the piston.

thats brilliant

Ive had that swiss knife since 1998 and its cut every paper gasket for every engine ive worked on

if it ain't broke dont fix it.

@@AllenMillyard you must have sharpened those scissors a few times then. They look to cut really well

@@AllenMillyard Same here although I've also found some superb surgery scissors that do a lovely job as well. I've found the most useful Swiss Army knife to be the Explorer. It is one of only 2 or 3 models (one other is the Golfer) that has the Phillips driver out the end instead of it projecting at right angles, much more useful. It has the loupe as well which is excellent for crack detection. Tell you what though, I've not found better than Three Bond (Hondabond, Yamabond) engine sealant, and I've tried every gorilla snot there is or has been. I'll knock apart an untouched 50 year old Japper and the Three Bond inside the engine that squeezed in during initial assembly has never come adrift, swelled, or became brittle. It is in my humble opinion the best case sealant that is made. In fact, I rarely replace gaskets, I simply remove the part, ignore torn gaskets, apply Three Bond, and bung it back together. They never leak, never.

I think if Allen Millyard were shipwrecked on Gilligan’s Island he could’ve built himself a workshop and not just a boat to escape , but it probably would be a V16 he built from scratch. He is a proper fabricater

Pyro1251 me too!👍

I take it you already own a Swiss Army knife then?

@@ParaBellum2024 Yeah I've never used it to make gaskets though

McGuyver model you mean?

Or maybe a Huntsman which also has scissors

Oh dear.....

Looks like it's had a couple of cylinders added too.

it has plyers can't seem to see any in the latest cataloge with plyers, I bought mine in 1998

No, I use them all the time. They’re nearly as useful as the bottle opener :o)

Nope, i use the hell out of mine. Brilliant little pair of scissors.

I went to buy a new swiss army knife and the guy in the shop said he had one with five blades and a bottle-opener. I asked him if he had one with five bottle-openers and a blade.

LOL!

First thing I thought, V-twin superbike for Isle of Man TT races.. oh.. its just a quick rebuild.

Hahaha... well held Jools!

Yeah, I was just waiting on the hacksaw coming out, that's usually my favourite bit.

haha!!

May I barrow your toaster?

Red hot? What is your toast like, carbonized?

I would imagine they are purple faced with jealousy.. like me.. .but I totally Thumbed this UP!

Anyone who dislikes his videos are just jealous. This man is an engineering genius and the couple of immature jerks who have given these videos a thumbs down is just mad they themselves are not capable of such critical thinking

they must have a screw loose

@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv Yeah, all it needs is a lil tap here and a wiggle there. That should fix it.

Phil Morrow Me too lol

And Me !!!!

Wish I had shed with all those tools but rent I so expensive in Los Angeles's suburbs

Phil Morrow me too,and I’m older than Allen!🤣🤣

No way... coffee is the future!!

@@wacker2286 Yep, we dumped our tea in the harbor, where it belongs. I'm going for another coffee, as we speak. LOL!

That's what I thought too. But if it's cheap & works then why not. I'm sure he would have at least checked that the piston cleared the valves. Perhaps due to the rather large increase in bore size the compression would still be ok, even with a flat top piston, and not requiring high octane fuel. Perhaps just a cheap paddock basher that they did not want to waste too much money on.

@@glennmerriman8382 he only swapped the rings not the pistons.

@@memybikeni9931 he swapped the original piston for a bigger VFR 750 piston some time previously, he is now widening the oil ring groove in the VFR 750 piston with a parting tool to accept the different wider oil control ring

Damn Man !! This is proper Porn. 👍
