11 now. I really cannot understand how anybody could dislike a video like this, if you are a motorcyclist or a home shop machinist. I find it fascinating, and inspirational.

@@michaelhayward7572 There will always be those who are mentally challenged, and unfortunately we can't stop them from hitting the 'dislike' video. I prefer to look at it from a percentage point of view, in that if if your 'dislikes' are below 10%, that's a damn good result. As it stands now, Allens percentage is about 0.2%...... that's pretty much unheard of!!!! 😉

@@michaelhayward7572 Yes, the only thing I can think is that they are jealous, or self-hating, or just crazy. I really can't fathom how anyone could dislike his videos.

@@questionablesight I would go with jealous. Just wish I had the skills and motivation to do similar (although I did find Honda CR500 motocross con-rods fit a Yamaha XS650 using Yamaha XV750 pistons and give an 800cc motor) I built one around 2002, went quite well but stripped for crank mods and haven't got back to it.

He makes it look so easy...

🤣

Never had a sausage on it though! Imagine all those engine parts getting greasy 😂

In the world.

Can I get my piston medium to well done?

He cuts two crankcases to make one!

Also in his spare time ,in a shed in his garden....God level DIY.

Actually, crankshaft

@@Azzlad - '............. It's not that difficult?' Ok fella, let's see some of YOUR amazing projects???

greg taylor…..probably trying to work out his gas meter readings !

Well said 👏👏👏

Me too, agree totally

I agree fully, outstanding craftsmanship!

We are all witnessing a genus at work. How luck and privileged we are.

Andrew Knightley, agree wholeheartedly! Instead of giving a Royal honour to some WOKE, LGBT, BAME, Alphabet Soup person, we should be honouring a true British Legend, Allen Millyard! Genius and Gentleman! He should be Knighted!

@@joseywales3789 There are plenty of WOKE, LGBT, BAME, Alphabet Soup potential knights who are not bigots. Shame on you.

@Joeseph Smith Well please, do enlighten us.

@Joeseph Smith Given there is video of this engine running and idling, the maths may well have been flawed but it does appear to run. Were you not paying attention? The plastic bearings were only used as spacers until the bearing journals were line bored to accept the new needle roller bearings since they were being used instead of the original plain crank bearings.

@Joeseph Smith Can you provide some level of evidence regarding him being a con artist? I freely admit not to know as much as others about mechanics, that is why I am watching videos like this, to LEARN. If you can show me how to do things better, I'll gladly watch your videos instead. Don't talk shit about things if you can't back up your words.

KZfaq is pretty fantastic really. A great encyclopedia.

I spotted your deliberate error and claim my £10 prize. "these". There is only one Allan Millyard

@@martinjefferies666 true enough. I stand corrected.

When you speak to most men about turning engines they talk about mapping and ecu's. This guy whips out a tuning book that could of been written by jesus himself as a reference guide and achieves a perfect static balance on his thingies. Its magic to watch for a retard like myself. I have trouble thinking what to put on my shopping list each week.

@@twt3716 Interesting thing is, when you hear him being interviewed, he's reluctant to accept the 'genius' label and puts it down to common sense built on years of training and good engineering practice. What makes the difference - I think - is that he can visualise all these things in his head then approach fabricating and problem solving using a huge range of individual skills when most would even start let alone finish.

I'd pay to watch that, it would be an epic series.

Yet one more opportunity for Guy Martin to act like he builds things himself.

No thanks, tv destroys anything it touches

My money's on Greta :-)

@@bostonbikebits6539 That's pretty far fetched :D I'm thinking of some snobby machinists/engine-builder, that thinks his work is "unclean" and "sloppy" since he doesnt use the most fancy of tools and building room-ventilation/filtration.

someone who doesn't like cupcakes?

Jealous people. They can't match Mr. Millyards brilliance and decency, so they attack it.

Jealousy perhaps.. some people are so sad lol

Here here

The madness of Millyard.

Proper BRITISH shed GENIUS level operator 💪🇬🇧🙏

From 🇬🇧 👍🏼

Modified nuts and bolts would just about be the right size to make a set of con rods for a Honda 125 five cylinder..... I'll look forward to the video😂😂

@@howardosborne8647 arf arf! 😆

Agreed. 100%

I have a fever, and the only cure is more Millyard!

😂😂😂

hahahahahqa this is gold!

If there is no bread.........let them eat cupcakes !

That gave me a little chuckle Spency......thank you.

I know I've been putting off changing the oil in my boys pitbike cos I'm scared of undoing the sump plug...

I'd like an rgv250 converted to a 500 cc v twin please Alan using rm250 barrels. Just waiting for the lottery numbers fella....

Yeah, I really liked that one..."I'll just dig a bit til I find a few that look the same'...

Damn, you got there first😹😹😹😹

We are a rare breed now! I started my apprenticeship in 1984. Allen's work is fantastic for sure and it's great to see how he gets the job done.

@@s4uk218 .Yes we are and we can truly appreciate his work.

My dad was a plastic injection toolmaker as well! Worked for ITT in Brighton. Even when he retired in the early eighties you guys were thinning out. CNC is great but kills skills

I am a retired turner after 49 years on the lathe. And I have worked on a few Colchesters. His tooling is very antiquated. He is a mad genius.

I'm a retired experimental aero engine tool fitter. After being found to hate all the machining jobs they wanted me to do, I ended up working on burner development for military and civilian engines, including Phantom Spey and RB211. I designed the assembly jigs for the the first of the new RB211 burners. They were ridiculously complicated. It didn't help that I took over from an old boy who left no notes, but was in failing health. So I started again from scratch. I swear I've forgotten more than I knew back then. Everything went to Parker Hannifin after I left. That was 1980. Indeed, it was not until Allen reminded me, and made it sound and look so easy, that I remembered just what's involved. It's all about the planning, careful measuring (I listed progressive measurements in columns on graph paper! Eventually I had the JESUS copy), crazy tolerances, very precise jigs and those last precision cuts. With the right equipment, every task can be achieved if broken down into manageable parts. But it's his imagination and instinct for very high precision that really sets Allen apart. I want to build a specific very special engine which I know hasn't been done yet (it won't be straightforward), but I daren't even mention it here, because Allen will just root around in his shed and put one together before I even get my new workshop built! Actually, I'm wary of even thinking about it whilst connected to the internet...!!;)

I totally agree. I have one of Phil's books and it has taught me so much about tuning engines as a young man. ☺

I looked on in horror when he referred to “Tuning for Speed”. I recently had a clear out of my bookcase and you can guess what went to the tip! I’m gutted.

Good question, and where or what does 3 thumbs DOWN come from??!!??

Some people just want to see cat videos.

@@scottw550 ha! Nailed it.

I really think very few people actually can appreciate genius like this, I have to pick up my jaw ever so often while watching.. I do follow along but the sheer audacity of his projects is - mind boggling.

Still got to use the Swiss army knife though.... 😉🤣😂👍

The hacksaw blade broke after 43 years.... 😱

But the barbecue was used!

@@richardpetker4337 0

Another national holiday I think😂😂

That’s cool 😎

Now you know why British engineers were able to build the best bikes in 50s and 60, Shame they never got the funding and support from government that they have in Germany and Sweden. I wanted to build a series small single cylinder bikes( 50/125/250.) for commuters. Anyone interested,?

You mean episode 3?

@@simes205 Naah mate, commented even before watching this one. Now i'll re watch it a few more times before I get exited about any future episodes.

Raw isn't it? I bet it doesn't tick over very well..

gotta have a box of rods

@Allen Millyard, after watching you draw the crankshaft on the wallpaper, on the dining room table.... my head feels like a box of frogs! Does this count?? 😂🤣👍🇬🇧👍
