No bike is ever made with the correct number of cylinders, according to Allen. But a very good video once again, always lots to learn from the master. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
I put it down to the N+1 rule. The ideal number of anything that you have (bikes, cameras, games consoles, cylinders in a bike engine, etc.) is always at least N+1 where N is the number currently available.
A rare Sunday treat , way better than Top Gear. A master class in how its done , it looks almost like its a follow along video , I bet theres a sudden shortage of S1 engines starting tomorrow, if the rest of the series is as detailed and clear , this could be a great project . Many thanks.
@@fishyfool First there'll be a shortage of S1 engines, and then there'll be a glut of crankcases that have been hacksawed part-way through, sent for scrap!
I've been working on getting 2 old Honda CB550s running (nearly got 1 there), one of them had the threads for the drain plug on the oil pan stripped out. I managed to make a mess of drilling the hole out and tapping it to M14. It astounds me how you're able to just hack these engines apart and weld them together again like it's no big deal. You're an incredibly talented fellow!
It's like everything.,practice makes perfect.......he did the things that went wrong decades back.........now he knows..So the plug went skew .,it won't go skew next time..But then Allen says its perfect.,but of course that is relative.,it built to a standard that will run.,as was the original..It's within the limit and fits..What I find very impressive is putting weld into a structure that was never welded.,I'd be tempted to glue it.,there are some very impressive glues out of people like 3M..
While everyone else convert their ICE vehicle to electric, Allen converts 3 cylinder engine to a 4 cylinder. What a legend!! We need more people like Allen.Thanks for sharing this video,Allen
Allen, *"Just Great!"* Charlie Weaver, the Barbecue, Tracey's baking, I missed the Swiss Army Knife but you made up for it in spades with the awesome Engineering, Master of the hacksaw and draw file! Thank You for sharing this with us. Enjoyable and Educational. 👍👍✌✊
“I hope you enjoyed the video”. Not to worry, Alan, we adore them. From your lovely calm, happy demeanor to your almost superhuman fabrication skills to your love of your wife’s fabulous baked goods, your videos satify on so many levels.
I go into my garage, gaze at all my tools, hacksaws, files, hammers and welder. I think of Allen. Then decide nah ............ another day and go back inside in the warm. He's a genius.
CGI? What's CGI? Allen does all that complicated stuff for real, in real time, and has time for a tea and a cookie. You never cease to amaze us, sir. Thank you again for allowing us into your incredible world.
If you are a lover of motorcycles, engineering, fabrication, the sound and smells of petrol with snippets of nature and sweet confectionery, well then Sir Allen Millyard is your man and this channel is for you. God bless our world treasures.
On the off-chance it hasn’t been said already some merch with “Fits Perfect” and “Well pleased with that” needs to be made. I marvel at your creations made in that shed.
He gets an idea….he takes a hacksaw…..and the idea becomes a thing! I so can’t do that but what I have found out is that when I am building an engine….sometimes…..it just feels right….and it works!
Watching Alan reminds me of why the English invented some of the greatest technology ever known to the world, and created many of the modern inventions that made our civilization what it is.
I absolutely love this guy's presentation. To the point, no fluff, and the bits about real life (pinching the wife's bakery) are so relatable. Oh, and he apparently knows a thing or two about machines.
What do you get when you cross a mad scientist, extraordinary engineer, elite skilled worker and a visionary on the level of Nicola Tesla. Allen Millyard.
As always, brilliant work and very therapeutic viewing. I chuckled at Allen for describing Tracey's spatula as a stick. Keep this man from kitchen duties, to avoid visits to A&E with throat splinters.
You live a charmed existence man! Tea and cookies delivered and Kawasaki two strokes languishing in the shed! When I clean out my garden shed I get a dead mouse and some old creosote. Always enjoy seeing the Elliott mill in action. Great video as usual. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire.
Modern custom builders: CNC machines, CAD, crews of highly trained professionals. Alan: I’ll trump you with my old hacksaw and a handful of files. Plus a few home made goodies from the missus. Alan - your knowledge and skill blow me away every time I watch one of your videos. I feel like I’ve just watched a modern day wizard at work 👍👍
Don't try this at home boys and girls! It might not be so perfect. Let's all have a 'Best Cup Cake' competition for the proceeds to go to Allen to get a large band-saw for Chrimbo!
I can almost guarantee the next episode will include. Birds, hedgehog, cookies and the famous BBQ . Which will be just perfect. Wonderful video Allen. Top Man.
Quite a fascinating process that you use here, Allen, to manufacture a complete set of crankcases for the 4 cylinder engine! As always, thank you very much for sharing the detailed yet simple process of adding an extra cylinder(s)to an engine! Cheers to you!😎👍🍺
I'm going to get me one of those Tracys, they seem highly useful....We've all marvelled at his engineering knowledge and design, but this video exhibits Allen's true ability, i.e. skill. Admirable levels of skill.
Greta will be livid when she sees this. An absolute gentleman to show how YOU does this, Matt from The Workshop will be transfixed watching this in learning HOW to do it required when he decides to do the challenge he accepted to build something better than Allan Millyard. I would put this comment to him on his channel but he has me blocked from commenting and my comments have been removed. Allan you must be crapping yourself, you may up your game. lol.
Cutting engines, welding heads, grinding cases and filing metal......it's witchcraft I tells yah, witchcraft!! Thank you Allen, and to see the BBQ getting top billing over Mrs. M, steady on old boy. Looking forward to seeing the next installment.
Excellent & ever inspiring! I have a metallurgy question. For the welding distortion, would it be useful to (after reassembly w mandrel) heat the whole package on BBQ?
Speaking as an Ex-Toolmaker (Bench-hand) You inspire me to want to get back into engineering. I look at your equipment in you small workshop, AND what you do! and feel as if Im missing out on something I once did on a daily basis but now kinda miss. Believe me! if I had a small premises fitted out with a Bridgeport, a surface Grinder, bench, vice and surface Plate, I'd be as happy as Larry. I would never have believed I'd be saying that as I once "Clocked in" at 7am on a Grey Monday morning...lol - Must be my 60 years of age mellowing me. :-) - Keep up the Brilliant work!!
I know the feeling, best thing for me was being given Ramapril from the Docs, opens up the blood vessels hence less work for the heart to do and hence I'm much livelier both mentally and physically. A new lease of life, self employed so its much appreciated.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -- I guess after seeing this video, a hacksaw is sufficiently advanced technology, in the right hands of course. Excellent video, nice looking cookies. Thank you for sharing!

I've been waiting patiently for another video from You Allen, and You didn't disappoint!! I love the Triple Cyl. Two Cycle Engines, but they sound more evenly balanced and more ferocious with 4 cylinders. I can't wait to see more of THIS build. Thanks and good on You mate!!
I've been watching Garage 54 cut a four cylinder Lada engine in half to create a two cylinder model. Allen adds cylinders and doesn't shout and yell as much as they do. Perhaps it is edited out. Oh, and Allen is a genius.
Hi Allen, superb video, excellent viewing. Watching you just mark up then cut those cases with a hacksaw.. Englishman in his shed..!!!! So pleased to see you utilised the important tools.. the garden grass and the BBQ.. never fail’s to bring a smile mate. Looking forward to the next instalment. Cheers, Alex.
Got a couple of 3 cyl engines laying around? let the Mad Genius of motorcycles work his magic hacksaw on them and turn two into one big mother scratcher! Rock On A.M.!
I'm amazed at the skill you have to do this particularly your ability to cut through the engine blocks with a hack saw. I couldn't do that to save my life! 👍👍🙂
A great,great episode. When I was an apprentice I spent endless hours learning to use a hack saw and files correctly,and can honestly say your technique is impeccable. The cookies were impeccable as well both of you are masters of your art.
Me: It's far from perfect; I'm really unhappy about that. (Putting a new spark plug in) Allen: It's just perfect. I'm really pleased about that. (Doing precision engineering)
Thank you for another fantastic episode! From one who cannot even cut 1 mm deep straight, grasping how you make these big, straight cuts is beyond my imagination. More than admirable skills! Another thing I have noticed is that you do not seem particular about slackening things like clutch spring retaining bolts off in a crisscross manner - always thought this was important?
Excellent video, thanks for showing the detail and telling about the burrs and recreating the cast finish, etc.; these videos always help to spend more time on projects, those cookies look great too.
Allen. That was magic. You really do use a hacksaw. Just amazing. That lathe is a must in your world too. There is nothing you can’t make or alter on that machine. Top drawer. Looking forward to the next video.
This is amazing but What everyone really wants to see you build is a V8 twin turbo suzuki hayabusa with a billet internals for max power, Is it possible to fit a V8 engine in that frame, All at once now DO IT DO IT DO IT,
Hi Allen, we are a couple of mechanic and electronic engineers with many years of experience in the automotive industry, magister in quality and many more, and still pretty hard to believe that somebody could have such enormous skills to do something like that. We are more than astonished and want to congrat for your magnific job, keep doing what you love and will live forever! Regards from Argentina.
I am always blown away by your knowledge, skills and abilities to do fabrication in "your shed" to such high standards. Will be following this build with great interest. As always Tracey fuels the build with her wonderful cooking.
Watching this makes me wish I had chosen a profession like this one. Well done. Did you know you could use a chop saw to cut aluminum, or is it aluminium? 👍🏻
I think everyone has said what there is to say, thank goodness modern tech allows us all to share and appreciate this amazing mans talent . Thanks Allen and internet.
Need crazy knowledge for stuff like this, I wonder how many engines are being cut in half and sitting in boxes in the loft after people watch these vids but don't have the skills lol My guess is quite a few
finally a new video is out! I myself am engaged in the repair of car engines only, but you work wonders! I watch all your videos and plan to collect something like that) You are now my idol !!! ) I'm waiting for the next video, I've already bought a cupcake for tea)))
Not word for word, but found these two engines lying around in my shed. Just cut them in half and make a four cylinder engine, like you do, and you do it with a hacksaw. Brilliant. By the way Tracy needs to wright a cook book.
Great video as usual Allen. It’s not often that I feel I can contribute anything useful to any of your work, but on this occasion I can - your pigeon was a collared dove! If you need any more help you know where I am.
Hey if you need something machine from a CNC lathe are mill feel free to contact me. Great work by the way. I’ve been very impressed with design over the years.
I still can't really believe this can be done. It's so obviously impossible. Yet you make it look easy. Just perfect.
And with a 2nd hand blade, amazing
It actually is impossible for mere mortals, but for Allen, it’s just a thing.
This is pure magic.
@@barrymartin3813 The Sandvik blades last forever. Mine is 40 years old.

"...this is where I'm going to cut them with my hacksaw..."!!! This man is an engineering genius. Incredible talent.
No bike is ever made with the correct number of cylinders, according to Allen.
But a very good video once again, always lots to learn from the master. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
Come for the fabrication, stay for the baked goods.
I put it down to the N+1 rule. The ideal number of anything that you have (bikes, cameras, games consoles, cylinders in a bike engine, etc.) is always at least N+1 where N is the number currently available.

Totally amazing work, I have trouble cutting down a bolt 🤣
You once promished to show us how you line the drive sprocket up when the engine is shifted sideways in the frame, I hope it is with this build.
I will cover that in episode 3

Hello Allen, I have a question; why do you cut through the cylinders, instead of inbetween the cylinders?
Its the best place to cut for for strength and retaining a factory look
