Allen Millyard Must Be An Alien! - Marshall - 22-04-2020
Ey,up sat doing my usual trawl of YouTube, my god I came across (not literally) The God of engineering, who goes by the name of Allen Millyard. This bloke builds himself toys like a v10 motorcycle, a 5 cylinder two stroke and my favourite so far that I've seen a 6 cylinder Kawasaki Z1. He does everything himself, hacksawing cylinder blocks building cranks. Oh no, not quite he has a friend paint it! But as someone who gets a sense of achievement from changing spark plugs. I can only think he must be an alien in disguise.

If you know all about him forgive me, if not have a look  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ_Hd2g1uTI

Cheers and regards to all... Stay Safe

He's a legend. And a friend of Mystic Baldric (not so legendary)Â Backstreet bike fettlin'' at it's best.

Allen's been doing a YouTube series on various aspects of making a six cylinder Kawasaki over the last couple of weeks. There are 3 videos in total and well worth a watch.

Just watched him fettling the sons XL175 last night. I couldn't believe it when he pulled a VFR piston out and replaced it with a Kawasaki one!

I thought he was responsible for that 48 cylinder two-stroke thing, but apparently not...

He got two cylinders and pistons off Wasp radial and turned them into a 5000cc V twin, pressed up crankpin.

I can get you a pair of lycoming pots/pistons if you fancy a 3 litre V twin.
