not only is Allen a genius and cake enthusiast but the people he uses to do some of the work are unsung heroes of engineering with very high standards of workmanship
Wait... No Tracy's baking, no birds, no hedgehogs, no heating up the piston in the barbecue? Ohhh, this is Henry's channel! I can tell because Allen is in a (magical) shed!
no clock ticking in the background either, not as relaxing as his normal vid's 🙄🙄🙄🙄LOL.
Great vid .Allen's vids are more raw tick tok of clock not made up for vid . Wonder how Tracy took the news of no baking and the poor animals not haven there air time still it's Allen with his shed that's good great builds thank you
[ No Tracy's baking ] tracy was not going to put up with all that riff raff ! she more then likey had a day out with the gals
Allen is an absolute genius. What a talented guy
That’s the wonder of the BSA Goldstar - a true performance engine but so simple!
Henry please make a film of you and skid and Allen on a proper biker road trip !!!! 👍🏻🏴
Yes mate!! Alan should ride the Norton V8 he is rebuilding!!

@@jeremymerrifield7244 yes and Sam!! Not seen him in a while!!👍🏻
Allen is a great guy!
When you can prove Allen built the engine, that should double the value.🙂
Always very watchable television.
Al the magician is at it again✌
About eight years ago my buddy sold a gold star engine for 10 grand, no gear box but the motor was a cherry. He dad had bought it or horse traded for it in the seventies and it was rathole away for years, his dad had been gone for about sixteen years before he parted with it. He was still apprehensive to sell it for fear of his father coming back from beyond and chastising him for selling it. True story 👍
And this is in between Allens brilliant rebuilding and modification of the Norton Nemesis, incedently when I was a teenager rebuilding my BSA Super Rocket back in the 60s (in the back yard, no garage) I had to use a kettle of hot water to warm the pistons for the gudgeon pins and found supporting the pistons at TDC was quite easy to lower the barrel onto them.
Brilliant show love it 😊
Exact job going on !!! LOL🥸
A Goldie.... heaven. Always wanted one...too late now.😂
Leaving pistons in the house on a radiator overnight also works well. Oooh a picture of a Jones crane.
the Norton awaits…
I left a spring off my XR600 engine rebuild. Total strip-down (after a few pints down pub).
'enery, Pixies & Elves, more Mr Millyard!
As usual Henry did sofa but took the glory.
Well done Allan, The goldie was a great bike but not as good as a Truxton!!
I can't understand why you don't use gasket paper on the crankshaft housing Allan 😮
Allen won't be getting much out of that motor, he's fitted a long rod piston to a BB, or mid length rod motor. The distance above the gudgeon height is the giveaway. The ZB Gold Stars have the long rod, and the BB has the mid length rod.
Everybody makes mistakes, even near geniuses, though if the above is correct one would think he'd notice piston position at TDC. The piston was well down in the barrel.
constant width bead just by crushing the tube in hand.
I always seem to have extra parts left after a rebuild 🤣
thats why you have a scrap bin
weee bits
Hes right ....ive had oil rings pop out....the silly piston slide in. ....scored the bore. Arghhhhh
Should have shown Allen's crankshaft work. Would have been a lot less superficial.

Hands of asbestos...
At 1:25 "to stop any oil from leaking" Then it's not a british bike, sorry.
