Millyard Honda SS100 V Twin Crankshaft - How its Made 4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2020
- In this video I show how i build a crankshaft for one of my SS100 V Twins from parts found in my shed. With exception of the extended crankpin all genuine Honda parts are used. The engine runs smooth up to its ceiling of 1100 rpm

Deep in the Japanese Honda Headquarters, in a room full of engineers and decision makers, everything pauses and the room goes silent when someone says, "Allen Millyard's new video is on RUclips!"
rdaystrom ya especially quiet when he cuts the crank with an angle grinder😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great comment :D
They all take notes
Allen San is at work ! Quiet !
"Why didn't we think of that?"
Now we wait with breathless anticipation to hear how a crank that's wider by the width of one rod fits into the crank cases . This is fast becoming my favorite RUclips channel
He modified the case im pretty sure. But either way Allen is a genius and master fabricator
Yep, another good question and i'll be awaiting Allen's answer and possible vid, fingers crossed.
Yes, I'm hoping he shows the modifications too, this is a fascinating series.
We'll just have to wait and see. My guess is a stack of handmade gaskets on the side of the original case, precisely the width of that extra conrod., give or take half a thou'
@@Deftonesdsm I'm also interested to see how he uses one cam chain when one cylinder must be offset from the other
"I hit it with my copper hammer and it's now within half a thou". Lol. Completely different world to us mortals - I hit it with a hammer and break it! Genius as always.
M Bacon same idea. V blocks instead of a lathe because of many flywheels makes it easier to align the flywheels.
Same result when I attack a crankshaft on the ground outside with a angle grinder.......
Tim Loveridge, “if it won’t go, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway”
I remember, 17 year old and half a year into my apprenticeship, I promised to replace a big end (ball) bearing gone bad for a friend. Pressing the crankpin out was the easy part. Pressing back in without a throw on the crancshaft halves was a nightmare. Didn,t realice that a tap with a heavy, soft hammer was all it took. Well, thats 50 years ago, so it's nice to still be learning. Next time I shall do like you, Allen.
PS, - it's a joy to follow you.
This man gives us all inspiration. Can't wait to see the modifying of the crankcase's to accommodate this crank.
Same here, last inline six video make me curious about the crankcase
I don't think we will see that...some things are not shared i'm afraid... Hope Allen does tho'....
Me tooooo
Please man!!!! That would be amazing to watch!!!!
He has shown us how he cuts and tig welds the barrels on his super six.
Fingers crossed he will show us how the crankcases were done...
These videos are the best on RUclips by a country mile and he explains everything in simple terms and his voice is so calm and relaxing he should have his own tv show .
He has been on some shows, like Find It Fix It Flog It with Henry Cole
"Ive just knocked this up" ...king of understatement....genius..
Exactly what I was thinking....
Yeah, and me. 😲
And me.
From a box of bits
Allen is so modest that it is an absolute pleasure to watch his creative moments. What a lovely person.
You are an inspiration to anyone with a shed, and the ability to angle grind whilst holding with your foot is outstanding 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
I wonder if the brand of shoe is important to the final accuracy?
Over a pile of doggy doo too!
That's not doggy do, it's a high tech resin for retaining parts
Simon Aldred I had a friend who did that cutting a stone block, and came very close to cutting off his big toe. When I saw Allen doing it wearing trainers I winced. Please don’t copy this! Les

This is the best show in any genre , a genius engineer in his shed , cup cake one on one and how to steal before cooled .
What’s going on in the garden , witness a piece of art roaring up the street followed by hedgehogs getting on it , been eating strange mushrooms again .😂🔭🦔.
What more could you want .
As national treasures go Allen Millard is top of my list .❤️🇬🇧🏍🔭🦔
Watching Allen true a small pressed-together crankshaft with little more than a hammer, dial indicator, and a lathe gives me hope for more of us garage and garden shed tinkerers.
I think I'll slightly modify and try this technique with a few chainsaw crankshafts. I love these 'how it's made' series. Thank you for sharing!
I sit and watch this video with a smile on my face. One brilliant engineer.
These videos are a breath of fresh air. Thanks Allen.
Amazing work, a testament to the main limitation in life being one's own attitude.
The greater majority of folk deny themselves achieving difficult projects. Its all in the mindset the job is approached with to start out. What you see with Allen is a man with a great deal of determination coupled with a no quit approach and vast amounts of previous experience. There is no substitute for the 'experience' part of the equation.
Wow, precision engineering with an angle grinder and a bloody big hammer! Shed built at its best. Love it Allen!
I was thinking the same.....truly AWESOME 😊
An angle grinder, press & a hammer. Allan, you made two things, a crank & a lot of happy people.
I have no idea what a Honda SS100 is but at 5am in the morning i still enjoyed watching your video.
When I first found out about his creations, I found it hard to believe that such professional builds could be created in a small garden shed. Just goes to show what is possible with some knowledge, experience and a lot of care and patience. Best show on YT and can’t wait for the video on how the wider crank fitted into the case.
I love the way he says I had a rummage around and found these spare parts so I knocked this one up!!! Loving the engineering of it all Allen.
It would be incredible to see how you modify the crankcase or create the camshafts for the six cylinder engines! Thank you for the excellent content, this sort of stuff is what made me study engineering!
Allen you have unravelled the mysteries of Mechanical Engineering for all those to see!I have enjoyed the Milling,Turning,Bench press work etc, (brings back memories) and now a completely new tool I've not seen before,The Training Shoe!!! Excellent!!and lovely work .A joy to watch.Thank You
Really enjoyed watching as usual, but you left the crank pin a bit of a mystery ;)
I really appreciate how you mix precision methods with the "quick and dirty-while calculated". For those without a mill or lathe, we have to take procedures accordingly. From an engineering/manufacturing standpoint, we're so afraid of removing material. The rationale of a stepped tolerance scares many engineers. Simplistic manufacture and integration of fabrication methods is soooooo important. Your gradual move toward greater precision tools (based on the situation at-hand) are to be followed.
Any sufficiently advanced Millyard engineering is indistinguishable from magic.
Thank you for sharing Alan! Rebuilding one of my H1’s as a teen (in the late 70’s) I had a crankshaft rebuilt by a recommended engine guy. I was astounded the difference in smoothness after the rebuild.
I would love to know more about balancing of these cranks, especially with your efficiency in tool use and ability to see within your mind, your goals.
This was highlighted even more as I rode a friends H1 with a rebuilt crank from another shop. It vibrated worse than any H1 I ever rode!
Thank you so much for your shared experience!
It's Allen, not Alan.
@@robertmoore2527 maybe that’s why Alan never replied ;)
It's really soothing in these uncertain times to chill out and watch a master at work.
Simply unbelievable work here..
Honda has HRC... AM has scuffed size 10 trainers ( the human vice) a paving slab work surface, a BBQ for all tasks apart from cooking, a Swiss army knife and a Dremel..And he casually knocks out his own v-twin.
Is it vision, supreme self confidence or what?
I love that he works like that, that's a backyard engineer!
25 thou by eye “not bad” ! King of the understatement
Votre amour de la mécanique et du travail BIEN FAIT sont un régal pour les yeux et l'esprit ! Encore merci, monsieur Millyard (le bien nommé 😉)
it`s a joy watching you work Allen 😜👍
Ha ha, your narrative at the end is like that of a prepschool boy who is busy raiding the kitchen voice lowered for fear of getting caught. Nice work tho, Allen.
Mr Milllyard, without doubt, hands down, undisputed, KING OF SHEDS.....period. ✌️
‘ oh ‘ lord , what a humble gentleman and beyond gifted man ,
So over the over ‘ fabricators’ from a country that all talk , money, money , money , bling , bling workshops,
Several monkeys to make a bike or car, where here there’s one person !!!!!!!
The non nonsense approach of Allen can definitely stick up the arses of those show offs , the real deal , beyond humble, home DIY, engineering, and no several idiots with a ego trip trade , and there bloody clone shaped life style, but this Gentlman is the real deal , definitely no Drama !!!!
And tantrums, just pure passion and simple, calm explaining, that’s what we need , YOU MUST BE ON A CHANNEL OR HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW ; cause ‘ don’t see anything if you are , on this part of the world,
Your tools and know how is just speechless, look forward to meeting you one day , thank you showing us and teaching also several idiots , that you don’t need egos’s and bullshit bling workshops or a countries stereotype , that think that there the only ones in the world that can build , because there on a pay tv show , up your arse ,
That’s how you build , take note IDIOTS and try being humble and not reality show based , with the pointless show ponying air heads bimbos holding tools and trying to look busy , except the silicon has entered there blood stream at some point
and loud in your face presenters,
Well done Allen , ‘ God definitely smashed the mould of you’
Thank you and looking forward to more projects you share, thankgod there’s a person who keeps it real !!!!!, God bless and Godspeed
Mr Millyard. You cut into the crankshaft web with the angle grinder as if you know what you're doing !!!! That anti-seize compound is a pain in the A** to clean off. Respect. Trinidad & Tobago.
I swear Indonesian multi-cyl modificator and fans would love to watch this video. Lot of 'em makes small engine to another level like you did.
Allen, you make it look so easy! I would like to see anything that you make.......
After trueing the crankshaft with my copper hammer 😳, Allen is a genius.
Outstanding , using your foot as a vice while using a angle grinder a small tap with a copper hammer to bring it into tolerance, this is shed work at its best and a black nail just to prove he's human ,I could watch this black magic all day long ,thank you .
Allen you make it seem so easy, you obviously have an incredible insight of what’s happening and for you there is no mystery. When you hit the web with your copper hammer I can’t see how it trues the crank shaft seeing as it it’s sitting on a solid shaft, but it obviously does and you can see and understand why
I’ll just angle grind a thousandth off that crank, no problem!! This man is so talented.
Would really like to see how the cases we're fabbed. Thanks for taking the time to share all of this with us .
Hello Allen, the truth that these knowledge that you are transmitting to us are golden, would it be too much to ask for a step-by-step instruction on how to prepare the cases for the extra cylinder? the centering and others, like distribution and lubrication ... I leave my like and a big hug from Argentina.
Absolute Genius. Using soil to cushion the crank while you hold it WITH YOUR FOOT & slice bits off it with a 6" angle grinder. Then the copier hammer bit. Wow. I take my hat off to you. I thought these things were meant to be technical. Did you cause the Fukushima nuclear disaster when all the engineers saw what you do and imploded? Keep it up.
From a new honda fan, seeing this and the other videos about it, I just wonder how much precision work went into it and for it to work that smooth. LOVE IT
So relaxing with the clock ticking in the background
I have watched this over and over... I can see how Allen has stitched the casing in to the original one and if you look closely you will see how he as widened the cam chain tunnel and the cylinder head to run the camchain from the back cylinder to the front. A few other things are the front top cam sprocket will have a spacer fitted behind it and the base and head gaskets Allen will make.The rear head and cylinder are stock. also the cam chain tensioner is adapted too so it does not get in the way of the chain. All very well done I need to add and so cleaver... The crank pin I can make and have hardened and ground for a few pounds... So off we go guys lets BUILD....
I wonder too...why he make the eforts to extend cam tunel for both head and barrel instead of using 2 cam sprockets on crankshaft, But probably there i no space for magneto cover and flywheel too.
this is precision engineering that I can get behind. Just trimming up my Crankshaft up on the pavement in the dirt!
There is a blinding problem with these videos!...................we need lots more of them!
British garden shed engineering at its finest. Allen is the epitome of understatement. fine precision machining with a bloody angle grinder whilst firmly holding it with his foot "priceless"
Who needs a machine shop full of big money when you have an angle grinder!
Your 5 litre V twin engine always amazed me as and would love to see a video of how you'd make all the custom parts on that behemoth! The taking of a radial aeroplane engine and chopping it up for a bike motor is pure genius and puts you on guru status!
If only my teachers had any of your enthusiasm and clarity of explanation life would have been very different. I wouldn't have wasted 20 years in construction before going back to engineering. Honestly Alan your talents are endless and they included teaching (a rare talent!).
This channel is pure unapologetically British home brew engineering and I love it
Very impressive . I was surprised to see that there's no indexing between the crank and the timing gear .
Please keep them coming . your videos make isolation bearable . mustie1 is also a brill channel for anyone who enjoys this type of stuff
We hope you are teaching this to someone who wants to learn this marvellous craft you have. Thank you sir for yet another great video. Cheers.....
This fellow is brilliant....I’m in my 70’s now and just marvel at his work and clarity of his work.....and this all happens in his workshop.
All done in his Shed/Garage with no fancy tools absolute legend cant wait for the next video.
I’ve seen many of your vehicles at Barber Motorsports Park, and I’ve studied them carefully. I look forward to seeing the thought process to building the V engines.
Brilliant. Thanks for uploading these videos Allen, really enjoying them.
Allen, I just watched one of your videos by the Missenden Flyer guy, you said on that vid; 'you're looking for something extraordinary to build,' how about a Triumph Bonneville Square 6?
The Ariel Square 4 was my very first motorcycle, given to me when I was 14, and the first bike I ever rode was a BSA Bantam 125cc when I was 8 (thanks to the help of my older biker brother), you are a Eccentric Genius with your 'out of this world engineering creations'...I doubt you've reached your peak in engineering creativity. ...here's to the future. Denny
The only guy I know who’s ‘Skeg of eye’ is as accurate as a CNC machine.
These videos are brilliant, thank you Allen!
Another great video. Thanks Allen.
Couldn't wait for more,really enjoying it.
Fantastic stuff - I could watch this all day. Thanks for making and posting.
Your job is like a dream!!!!!
Your videos really calm me down. I really enjoy them.
You are a true inspiration to us enthousiasts
You make it look so easy 👍
As usual WOW superb craftsmanship
Thoroughly enjoy these videos, thankyou!
Brilliant, we need more of stuff like this in lockdown 🤟
Thanks Allen that was very relaxing to watch.
I think Allen would be great at telling bedtime stories. Love all his work and videos.
Out of this world Sir..........thank you
you are a gentle genius, love your videos, never stop to amaze me, great stuff
Blue Peter would have been much more interesting if AM had been on it. No crappy Tracy Island: "here's a V36 engine I made earlier, from a clothes peg and some washing up bottles".
You forgot the toilet roll tube.
Ah! Yes - the cylinder liners. Nitrided bogroll tubes.
Brilliant! Thanks so much Allen, love these videos and your professional narration also.
you make the maddest of things look and sound so simple .... thank you!
Fantastic work in your small garage. Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating absolutely fascinating , many thanks Allen .
Thanks allan. Keep it up. Were really enjoying these very interesting videos.
This man has incredible skills.
Watching an angle grinder being taken to a crank, that's a guy who knows what hes doing!Look at the black thumb. That could tell a tale or two. My dad got a jar of Rocol Anti Scuffing Paste when Pegler Yorkshire in Leeds closed down. Its brilliant stuff! I mixed a bit of it with Lucas Extra Heavy Duty Grease and this is ideal for bicycle coaster brake hubs or Shimano Roller brakes as they take some abuse. No motorcycle license anymore so I'm back to fiddling with push bikes.
Great as always! Now some of us are curious about the wizardry performed on the crankcase...
I saw one of your previouse videos Allen and now I am hooked on your channel. Good old school techniques...well done.
Excellent video Allen. Loving the ‘How it’s made’ series Thanks for sharing. 👍
Love to see the whole build on this thanks Allen Cheers
What an engineering genius.
awesome allen brilliant work as always and keep the video,s rolling
Thank you for posting, real engineering with very few tools
So brilliant
You bring me enormous joy
Thank you
You make it look so easy great vid
Easy peasy when you know how & have the right tools. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thank you Allen. Very interesting. True garden shed engineering at its best. Looking forward to some more videos.
Hi Allen, I enjoyed talking to you at Kempton last year and and I am fascinated by your brilliant engineering and the things that you can produce in your garage and sheds, absolutely amazing! One thing has been on my mind since the Kawasaki six cylinder crankshaft is how you would lengthen the camshafts for it and sort out the timing, also the ignition and it’s timing! Many thanks.
Another incredibly interesting video from you Allen. I now want to make things more than ever!
La mécanique érigée au rang d'art majeur ! Merci Allen !
Thanks Allen. I've been eagerly awaiting this one
You make it look so easy. A real craftsman great video.
It’s genuinely amazing watching you work! Just bosh it in the press sorta level, hit it with a hammer, sorted! Your work is amazing!
Allen can wield 'the mechanic's best friend', his hammer,
to an accuracy of half a thou. What!!?? That's Wicked Man..... !!!!
