Norton Nemesis V8 Rebuild - Episode 14

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video I will be continuing with the rebuild, b briefly starting the engine on the bench for the first time then putting the engine back in the frame and getting it up on its wheels.
Note: All parts will be thoroughly cleaned before final assembly, so any debris , swarf dust of dirt seen under macro cinimatography in this video will be cleaned off before the final assembly..
The Norton Nemeses is a pre production prototype that was made in the late 90's with claims of a 200+mph top speed from its 1500cc fuel injected V8 engine.
As far as I'm aware, this is the only bike that has survived but if any of you know of other bikes please leave a comment. This bike is owned by the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham UK has been on display as a non running exhibit for many years.
I have already worked on the bike last year getting the engine to run after a few rudimentary checks, new oil and batteries for series 12 of Henry Cole's "The Motorbike Show" where Henry rode it for a few miles up to around 50 mph, but it wasn't running very well and was leaking a lot of oil and coolant.
Episodes of "The Motorbike show" can be seen on itvx player on line and some shorter edits are available on Henrys TH-cam channel.
Over the coming months I will be stripping the bike to sort out a few issues with the V8 engine and hopefully make it run and ride how it was intended 25 years ago.

For those that are complain about the slow release of this video... he is rebuilding a one of a kind engine (not to say the whole thing!), with a lot of best spoke part that, by the looks of it, wasn't really well put together when new and with no manual! Allen you are the MAN! Keep going!
Agree. Its easy to be critical until you try it yourself.
Wasn't he at the bike museum as well.
bespoke :)
I would happily wait a year.
Who here doesn’t already know this?
I'm an old git that remembers the teacher wheeling the school telly in so we could watch incomprehensible and incredibly boring programmes, usually when it was beautiful sunshine outside.
How we would have loved to see something like this series of engineering masterclasses. Allen, you were born too late. But we are the beneficiaries now. Keep up the good work sir!
*edit I should point out I was a country lad and we were all mad for machinery from an early age, so motorcycle programmes on the telly at school would have been bliss!😊
Allen; Dutch bloke here. Love the video’s. Your work is an absolute inspiration to me. I was making wee sketches of motorbikes when I was a kid, tried to get 2CV engines into Laverda frames. It was in paper only. I couldn’t afford a motorbike till I was 20. By then I was too busy in University and etc. Now you are just doing what I dreamt of 40 years ago and I enjoy it through your hands and eyes. Thank you so much.
Nice, if only Norton had been so attentive to the important details.
Thank you for taking us along, with this rebuild.
Motorcycles, nature and cup cakes...and watching a genius at work. What more could a man ask for to make his Sunday evening complete? Excellent, Allen. Can't wait for the next episode.
Well now my Sunday is complete with a new Allen Millyard video. Thank you Allen!
I doubt there are few others with the creative talent and engineering know how as AM. This engine was a major challenge. And yet, as usual, Allen resolved each issue perfectly. Bravo.
Machining the screws. Makes a lot of difference. It's the little touches. 👌
As if this one off one of a kind prototype would ever be left out in the rain!. I love your attention to detail!
I really like that he takes the time to address asthetic issues, such as the cap screws on the top yoke, machining them to look nice. Perfection.
Stunning that the tool made to fit the castellated nuts , has a better finish than the bike had . Beautiful attention to detail and as always amazing workmanship.
Not only rebuilt but improved beyond the hanging gardens of babylon..❤
Fantastic! When that engine burst into life on the bench - what a well-earned reward to all your hard work.
Oh, I've been looking forward to this one!
Lovely to see that Hagon shock upgrade. A fine-looking piece of engineering - perfectly suited to this rebuild.
Seeing the bike stripped down and rebuilt over this series of videos you can see some of the very different ideas used in the bikes design and the fact of some of the less clever ideas being replaced with ones that work like the rear exhaust manifold, well done Allen.
Without having watched this yet I want to say how great these videos have been. I didn't think that I was looking forward to hearing it run but apparently I was fooling myself.
rebuilding my first bottom end!! thanks for everything -
The crying shame is that if Allen was on the research and development team, the Nemesis would have made it to production.
Too complex.
It would have been better as a V4.
Some realism needed to be injected into the Nemesis project.

@@RalphEllis Hence my comment... Allen would have brought the project back to reality.
Brilliant Allen .. worth the wait and me and hubby loved it.. many thanks ..
Dear Allen,
That's just a WOW. Thank you for your work. Fantastic watch start to finish. Every episode a joy.
Glad to see Tracey using those extra cherries, Allen - absoiutely my fave as well. Oh, nice engine by the way...
Thank you, Allen. To hear the engine run at least for a bit on the bench is amazing. Can't wait to see the bike complete.
Just a great relaxing, Sunday night treat.
Thanks for sharing.
Ride safe 👍
Loved every second of it, amazing work Al
pure brilliance from Alan again
AWESOME SOUP . GLAD TO HAVE A NEW UPDATE ,THANKS AL
Great vid as per usual.
And I really love the sound of the clock in the background. Really soothing. Cheers. 🍻🥰
Nothing less than brilliant yet again.. For the first time ever I have just realised that Charlies face turns from "yellow" to "red" when he has a tipple
And smoke comes out of his ears
A pleasure to follow this story and those cupcakes look SO good!
I love how you drilled the rain holes to drain the rainwater for if it's ever left out in the rain, as if it ever would be 😂
Mr. Millyard has more eye for detail than the whole design team that stood for the design of this bike.
After all those years the bike will become lovable ...
Nice!
Was watching Matt Armstrong, until I got this notification 😂 I prefer to chilaxe with our man Allen✌️🇬🇧edit; always do enjoy it mate 👍
Got to love the way that when a build gets to critical point Allen nips out for a cup-cake. What a guy 🙂
Dont mind waiting for this man👍
It amazes me to see in these videos just how badly this thing was built in the first place, but it's also amazing to see you undoing all the shoddy work and turning it into something worth showing (that a team of people seemingly couldn't be arsed to do in the first place)
Great work as always!
A patient genius at work, the complete opposite to myself in my shed… loving the journey thanks Allen.
I dont really have heros but Allen is the kind of man i strive to be. Quiet , to myself,and fix anything no matter if i must learn or not
It's good to see the bike is being rebuilt again, and the finishing details will really make the bike look great.
Restauration at its best. Meticulous attention to detail. This rebuild will be better than the original, thanks to the upgraded coolant system and a number of other upgrades. This Norton Nemesis rebuild is very entertaining to watch. Thank you.
This has been a brilliant series of videos. Thoroughly enjoyed all episodes.
I've watched you for long time now seen all your videos and look forward to new videos really been looking forward to this rebuild 👍
Sunday night treat
Thanks Allen, your calm and relaxing work ethic is so enjoyable to watch and no wonder with those cup cakes to look forward to. Looking forward to the next one
Looking better than when first built. looking forward to the ride.
Nemesis with cupcakes......sounds just perfect to me for a Sunday evening's viewing
You are "the real Master" of building absolut Bikes!! Amacing!! You know what you do.
Always worth the wait 👍
One of many of my favourite things about Allen, is that he almost never uses power tools like these godawful electric impact wrenches that 99% of youtube "mechanics" use on literally every single bolt...
one of my other favourite things is his inclusion of all the wonderful curious critters in his lovely garden, just goes to show Allen appreciates the things that really matter! we could all learn something from this uniquely talented individual!
coming together really well .Really enjoying watching an expert technician at work
Love the brief spring into life on that engine, sounded great. Such attention to detail and skill level. Brilliant. ❤
What I think is most astounding is Allen’s reluctance to call this bike out for what it is, a bloody bodged up lash up! Won’t be when Al’s done with it tho!
Yeah it's funny too because people call things like bandits "parts bin special" and then you have this monstrosity. Some idiot definitely wasn't paying attention, I bet an apprentice helped build this 😂
Another good video. Thanks 😊
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much Allen.
Your attention to detail keep astonishing me, anybody else would just get new screws or polish them a bit, but you actually put them in the lathe and give them a new chamfer. What I would've given to have you as a teacher when I was younger...
Looking really good. great job!
Perfect end to my weekend 🤗🏍️ thankyou Allen
Although it’s a prototype it still retains typical Norton traits, as in why make something simple when you can make it complicated. Some of it total genius surrounded by bodgery. Yeah, I always machine scruffy looking studs in my lathe until they look factory new 😂. Thanks Allen, looking forward to episode 15
A fascinating watch. Cheers.
My favorite videos on TH-cam. I'm going to get a hedgehog tattoo with the flying millyard
BLOODY HELL ALAN!!!!!! 4K VIDEO ,i`m proud of you for "finally" embracing 21st century tech, well done this man 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
That's just perfect
Very enjoyable video,...
The engine sounds very tight, and the new rear shock is perfect...
All that work polishing the frame looks fantastic... Charlie Weaver approved 👌
Wonderful to watch and very much appreciated mr Millyard 🙏
It’s high compression
Favourite tea and a new Allen video, what more could anyone want, indoors anyway. 😊
The title of this series is misleading, it’s absolutely NOT a rebuild. Allen is finishing the development of a badly neglected factory project. It’s a joy to watch a master craftsman at work.
Can’t believe how crap a lot of the pieces were made originally, very disappointing, at least you improved them a lot.
It's coming along very nicely now 👌, thanks for sharing this amazing rebuild. Greg
As this series continues I just can’t believe how crudely so many things were made and fitted, that original manifold in a previous video was just embarrassing. It’s a good thing it found its way to Allen 👍
Brilliant, I cannot wait to see her all up and running in the frame! ☝
Great work there. cant wait to see it run!
Fabulous Work Allen.
At last been waiting ages,, also your lawnmower needs your attention by the looks ofit
Fantastic video. My day always is better with Allen Millyard. Looking forward to episode 15
yes
Loving this series Allen, I have been so looking forward to this thing running, I thought you had forgot to finish it as it's been a few Long weeks since the last episode.
MORE PLEASE
Ah I do love watching Allens bench test star ups, I still think of the engine you took to Henrys & started up lol
That is going to be just perfect Allen 👍
Perfect surprise upload to enjoy pre Nightshift. Cheers Allen
Mein Gott . Can't wait to watch this . I've given the thumbs up thingy already . Always great
Awesome work Allen. Looks like the original was thrown together in a very short time frame, bodged even. Looking way better now !
YYEEAAHH, the Master himself and cupcakes, it dont get any better, Thanks Allan!!
Watching a genius at work and l;istening to his clock ticking away is so relaxing!
You are the Engineer, Norton, needed to do the job! 😀
Loving this series. Well worth waiting for. 👍👍
Alan your the man keep up the good work. I can't wait to see it up and running the wait is killing me.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, it looks like that bike got assembled in a rush, with no time for quality. When Allen gets done, I have faith it'll be first rate!
It sounded good. Won't be long now before you take it for a test ride. thanks Allen....
You are the man !!!
I’ve loved watching Allen’s skills during this series.
Norton should be ashamed of some of this engineering. You can almost hear the engineers saying “that’ll do….. let’s go back down the pub”
Totally agree with machining allen bolts for a class job. I always chamfer the outer edge at 45°, but also chamfer the socket as they can burr up after tightening. And every allen bolt, no matter what size all look exactly the same.
Watching your channel is like diving into a world of fun adventures and incredible events. Keep surprising and inspiring us with your bright talent and creativity!🥬🫵🥿
Its coming along nicely Alan, with the usual quality and attention to detail that really impresses . The holes in case a one off is left in the rain , its posible i suppose , Tracy's cakes look good and your spiny normans are looking healthy . I'll look forward to the next one with baited breath .
Perfect timing just perfect and now to watch your video
it's no longer a motorbike it's become a jewel
my favourite hedgehog sanctuary channel!
Another great episode Allen! Keep em coming! :)
Worth the wait for these content
Amazing work Allen!
Heartwarming to see you've managed to nail this " working from home" 😊
Coming along nicely!👍
