God bless you Allen. Your videos are so well done with a beautiful cadence. I get lost in the moment watching them and when they are over, wish there was more. I have learned so much from watching you work, and I will never discount the importance of a hacksaw or barbque pit ever again.
You've hit upon the word--"cadence". Yes. That describes his delivery/photography/technical work/observation of wildlife/showcasing Tracy's kitchen skills/etc. perfectly. Bravo.
I turn on my phone and open the RUclips app. I click on the subscription icon and there’s a new video release by Allan Millyard. So I’m really pleased with that 😃
Allen is the pride of Britain. Your methods are just so sound. I am certain you influence people to think and work better. Thanks for the best videos on here.
Allen got me again, I've always wanted to know how those reboring machines got the bore aligned especially as I've painstakingly rebored on a lathe in the past which included turning a flange on a faceplate to avoid chucking the barrels. That's me screwed I want a reboring machine now. Brilliant camera work showing the exact view that describes the process........ with cake and robins for good measure!
@@utubedaveg with something as substantial as a Bridgeport you can bore a cylinder with a substantial boring head (adjustable radious cutting) and clock it to centre dead ctr or you can make your own ideally you need some mass in the tool to minimise vibrations off the ports if it's 2 stroke barrels, 4 stroke is easy almost any boring tool will do the job
Allen’s technique with the circlip pliers is so well controlled that I noticed he didn’t even block up the open bottom end. I always do, because I often drop the darned circlip!
the accuracy of the cylinder boring machine, the amount of batter in the cupcake...just perfect. i remember my metalwork classes when the teacher would shout about "precautions to be taken when tapping a blind hole". thank you for the perfect videos
@r1273m, often the simplest solution is the most elegant. A tri-lobe cam pushing against the diffrent sized rods for the diffrent sized bore and....... Robert's your Mother's Brother! *It's CENTERED!"*
So calm and organized, with a beautiful result. Allen is the British Bob Ross of "men in a shed" mechanics. It makes me feel like I could do wnat he does, even if I know better.
Allen thanks to you the mystery of cylinder boring is de-mistified . Thank you. I appreciate your videos sooo much. You explain things so simply and beautifully. Your filming and editing is just as simple and elegant as your bike building. That in itself is a craft. I love the contrast of your machine work with the appreciation of your wife’s baking and intercuts of squirrels, birds or what ever. Your ‘Boyish’ enthusiasm is infectious. I use music to relax and now I use your videos to do the same only in a mechanical way. Any project you accomplish always makes anything I do seem like a Piece of Cake. Please keep up the Amazing Work! Genuinely, Jim
Its channels like Allen's that makes me realize that getting rid of my TV and the associated license was no loss at all! Brilliant enthralling content with baking and some nature thrown in for good measure. Happy new year to all!
Very compact for a 550. Between the Dremel wandering across a bore and dropping a circlip into the crankcase, there's no end of tiger traps to befall the assembler :-)
Was surprised an the no rag confidence or even cow magnets . Took 1/2 a day with my clumsy mitts once. It can become an interesting fishing operation !!! Ole man Murphy's Law . If it can't possibly happen it will !!! Some magnetic tools are a great confidence builder.Especually with tiny parts.
Your attention to detail, such as machining the head of the head bolts, is inspiring. The fact that you make your own head bolts is beyond amazing. The cupcakes look great too.
Hey Allen, I forgot to add. I love the old Cylinder Boring Machine, and you got all the original tooling with it. We have simular in Australia that would sit on top of the engine block like yours and were made by REPCO, could do a 6 cylinder car ehgine with one. I've never seen the stand that you have for doing Bike Barrels. Very nice.
They work just fine on multi cylinder blocks as well just screw a large headed bolt into a head stud thread. spent many hours watching them make swarf our shop had a couple of them on top of the motor there is a diamond lap to sharpen the cutters.
I cannot get enough of this. I have a 2018 Honda CB650F and a 2007 Suzuki GSXR1000. I work in motorcycle insurance, at a company that is popular with classic bike owners. I've been interested in getting my hands dirty, but approaching my bikes with a spanner as a 31 year old newcomer is daunting. Taking an allen key to my bike the first time resulted in a broken bolt, so I've been reluctant since. I have a handy friend who has helped me with a few things and is currently rebuilding his 955i Daytona after an accident. Your channel has truly inspired me to keep getting them spanners out, thank you
Allen you’re absolutely right about those sleeve bolts, they look absolutely pristine on the top of those cylinder heads! (Can’t wait to see the episode where you make the exhaust headers) - this engine is gorgeous. Nice work 👍😊
Can't wait to see the next installment and hear this beast fire up! It's a work of art, Allen you are just so skilled it' makes me proud to be English 👍🏴
everything you touch turns to pure gold Allen, your bikes will live on forever, I can't see a one of them ever being scrapped and the way you build marking and documenting everything they will be rebuilt time after time.. 5000 years from now your bikes will be ridden and admired by all to see...
Thank you Allen. I was waiting to see how you would align the boring machine to the dead center of the cylinder. What an ingenious machine! Simple, but effective and no need for fancy CNC setup!
Sir, you are a true legend, you really inspire me to start learning more about engines and stuff like that and try to repair and even try to modify engines like you do!
Another fascinating video Allen and a full set...Charley Weaver smiling after all the rum...Tracey's cup cakes....and some great engineering...Just Perfect. Thankyou again for this latest update and very best wishes to you all for 2022..Kimbo 😊
Back here again on a Sunday…..🎉 Starting with lawnmowers, then my FS1E, GP125…… KH250 etc etc……. forever taking them apart in the vain notion that by polishing, we could make them quicker 🥳 A mate had a boring bar of similar vintage, never sharing its black arts……. Now I know !! Wonderfully explained and filmed as always Allen…….. your knowledge and expertise are only equalled by your skill with a camera……… and that’s just the baking 😂 As always, thank you……… and do please continue. 🇬🇧🙂
These are so nice and interesting to watch. The mild mannered tone as a contrast to the crazy precisionwork beeing done with almost ordinary tools! He lets his skill speak for itself. Very relaxing to watch and you want to sit in that kitchen eating those muffins. This is such a stark contrast to any of the shouty “standing with my legs too far apart with arms crossed” american shows.
I love all this imperial units, hands-on analogue micrometer, careful measuring (twice) and cutting. Proper craftsmanship. 'This part of the process is critical'. You're telling me. - whether it's the cup cakes or the re-bore (never seen that done - facinating) or making the stainless sleeve nuts. Love it all. The build is really taking shape. Roll on the next stage.
Absolutely fascinating. Just proves some of the old machines and measuring equipment still work perfectly in skilled hands. Looking forward to hearing it start.
Allen, thanks again for sharing your knowledge on the internal combustion engine. Of course thanks to your wife for her knowledge on baking. Love that classic boring machine. Saves a lot of money on shop expenses. Happy New Year and Cheers
Great to see Allen using Sheffield made measuring instruments. Moore & Wright micrometers were made in Sheffield from 1906 but the factory has moved to Bradford now after a takeover. The boring machine toolkit was made by GKN in their Laycock engineering plant also in Sheffield , now no longer with us , although GKN still has a presence in Britain. Old school tools for an old school engineer...people , this man is a genius
I love cooking and motorbikes. This is the perfect YT video, combining the perfection of Allen in the shed and Tracey in the kitchen. An impossibly high standard has been set but I expect it to be bettered in future episodes.
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get any better than this channel. It's "just perfect". Im guessing Tracey loves it when you run a bubble bath for your barrels in the sink.
You're a brave man Allen. No rag over the crankcase while inserting the piston circlips. Obviously never dropped one into the crankcase! Always wondered how barrels were rebored. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for another interesting video! I've soaked pistons in need of cleaning in Dawn dishwashing detergent and water overnight. The carbon usually wipes right off, and is super easy to clean from the ring grooves.
I think you are amazing if someone said can you build a rocket and fly to the moon, you would say "No problem just need my hacksaw and a few hand tools". absolutely awesome Alan. i have watched all your videos, and you never cease to amaze me.
Another amazing video Allen im glad to see the project continuing to take shape and cannot wait for the next part hope youve all had a safe and happy new year and will continue to have a safe and happy 2022 👍
That was a great video, reminds me of my two stroke rebuilds of the 1070 s'. Nothing can beat a 1970 s' 2 Stroke! You're a genius Allen, can't wait until the next video!
The kitchen sink? Your wife must be a very special lady! Love your work on the bikes and the videos. Nice to see the recipe becoming a regular installation.
I too wondered that, the dimensions. I will say the OEM Suzuki two stroke pistons for their triples like the 380 come up incredibly similar. Not totally identical. What I’ve noticed can vary quite a lot is their masses. I think they must have changed the alloy between the 1970s & now. So it’s well worth checking, especially as in this case, Allen had one piston in stock & bought three more. If the stock piston was decades old & the set of three were recently manufactured, its possible they have different masses.
@@GT380man - I noticed that he didn't weigh them to check. If that one piston was a different weight it would cause vibration. He also should have put a rag in the top of the crankcase in case a circlip fell in. That saved my bacon many times.

What a delightful video Allen. I really enjoyed learning how the "boring" (it wasn't boring) machine works. Fitting the heads with those newly made bolts must have been satisfying!
What a beautiful engine. That bore machine is a piece of art, have never seen one like it before. Those cupcakes look like they are Heaven sent. Yummy.
Hello Allen. Thanks for showing the details of the boring machine, the tooling and setup. I fixed up a vintage Buma boring machine, and have made my own tooling. I have successfully bored a couple of Ford Flathead V8s including liners. I was pleased to see how similar your machine is, and the way the tooling is setup is very similar too. I've enjoyed watching this series and eagerly await the next episode. All the best, Mart in Solihull.
Learn about advanced mechanics and engineering and how to bake luxorias cup cakes in one video. Sheer brilliance! Thanks Mr and Mrs Millyard. Outstanding in your respective fields.
Allen is such a legend that they even named a scew after him.
I thought it was Allen Bolt, because he`s very quick too :)
I do believe they are called cap head screws/bolts. An allen key is used to tighten/untighten them.

Allen got me again, I've always wanted to know how those reboring machines got the bore aligned especially as I've painstakingly rebored on a lathe in the past which included turning a flange on a faceplate to avoid chucking the barrels. That's me screwed I want a reboring machine now. Brilliant camera work showing the exact view that describes the process........ with cake and robins for good measure!
I just bought a Bridgeport milling machine. I assume with the right setup i can bore a cylinder. I am overhauling an s4 kawasaki.

@@utubedaveg ping Allen , see if can help ;-) ( only kidding Allen )
Me too, brilliant machine, much easier than a lathe or boring head on a milling machine. I imagine finding one will be difficult.
Allen’s technique with the circlip pliers is so well controlled that I noticed he didn’t even block up the open bottom end. I always do, because I often drop the darned circlip!
Haha - Even though I've built many engines I still cover up the crankcase, the thought of dropping the circlip makes my hands shake!!
Hello Dr Yeadon!
I like how none of the circlips are lined up the same way, one horizontal, another vertical, no rhyme or reason, just do whatever you feel like!
the accuracy of the cylinder boring machine, the amount of batter in the cupcake...just perfect. i remember my metalwork classes when the teacher would shout about "precautions to be taken when tapping a blind hole". thank you for the perfect videos
That was fascinating, I have never seen a rebore done before. I thought that getting the barrel central would be more complex than that 3 pin system.
You´ve never watched Pakistan mechanics? Check em out, they are not as precise and inventive as Allen though...
I too didn’t know how that step was accomplished. Very interesting! I knew honing with a stone & of course top end rebuild.
KIS principle. 😉👍
I've never seen an engine boring done. Didn't know what to expect from this process. Thanks for giving us so much detail about it.

Hands up who’s done both of those.
Hmm. I have!
Tell you what, though. You don’t do it twice.
I was wondering why there was no rag to stop the circlip falling into the crankcase, I wouldn't have dared fit them without.
Was surprised an the no rag confidence or even cow magnets . Took 1/2 a day with my clumsy mitts once. It can become an interesting fishing operation !!!

Da gosto ver um trabalho bem feito,obrigado por compartilhar
Yet another video that doesn't dissapoint, what a craftsman and so is Mrs Milliard those cup cakes looked amazing.
Really enjoyed this episode Allen. Did you find any variation in each of the pistons and did you need to gap the rings in each bore?
I too wondered that, the dimensions. I will say the OEM Suzuki two stroke pistons for their triples like the 380 come up incredibly similar. Not totally identical.
What I’ve noticed can vary quite a lot is their masses. I think they must have changed the alloy between the 1970s & now. So it’s well worth checking, especially as in this case, Allen had one piston in stock & bought three more. If the stock piston was decades old & the set of three were recently manufactured, its possible they have different masses.
@@GT380man - I noticed that he didn't weigh them to check.
If that one piston was a different weight it would cause vibration.
He also should have put a rag in the top of the crankcase in case a circlip fell in.
That saved my bacon many times.
Love the old boring machine, just like me, created in 1958 and still working great
Allen, you have inspired me to finally build my 4 cylinder 2 stroke snowmobile engine that I have always wanted. A triple to quad conversion.
