We are honored with Allen Millyard working an 1100!

[SMSW]

Allen blows my socks off with his understated expertise.

That said, I confess to being a little disappointed that he did not get the 1100 engine @Uncle Phil was giving away to make his bike a v-8.

As for dialects... to a native English speaker (not French like ChriSTian), Millyard's Home Counties accent is very easy to understand.

Yeah.... And, beside that... you have to take into account that I am half deaf.

I have to remember to remove my motorcycle helmet when I watch TV.

Your wife would probably say 'completely deaf' if asked ....

I suspect that, like most of us, ChriSTian has a "special filter" pour sa madame....

....I know that I do.

Episode 4....................

 

[Uncle Phil]

It's the next episode when he puts the engine back in the frame that I am really interested in seeing.
Hopefully he figures out an easier way than what I did!

 

[ReSTored]

So, at this point, do we conclude that the wrong bearing shell (green) on #1 cylinder was responsible for the slight knock he heard? He replaced 3 green shells and then put a brown one in for #1. Also, an oil seal was crimped, was this responsible for the slight galling on the bearing shells?

Episode 4 is wonderful, he makes it look so easy……. I might have to find a junk engine and try my hand at rebuilding it. Before the other three people claim that brown bearing.

When you've done the 'level' of 'mechanicing' that he's done, it probably is very easy for him.

Why, are you planning on doing it again???

 

[Uncle Phil]

Why, are you planning on doing it again???

I certainly hope not, but I figure I'll learn something cause sooner or later somebody else will and need help!

It's hard to believe this is a YouTube video without the presenter giving us erms and uhs and endless fumbling repetitive bits in K-Tel ad volume tones. Maybe a little editing helps him here but he just gets stuff done with a real economy of words.

I recently watched a video where the first thing the presenter says is something like "This is going to be a short video" and then blathers on ill prepared and "winging it" making a 5m video 15m long.

Millyard's patient calm narrative exudes a real feeling of Zen and motorcycle maintenance as an art. Something like that would be a great concept and title for a book.

I'm going to download all these ST videos and watch them from time to time. With all this rain it makes for pleasant view. I will pass on the tea and biscuits though. Hot chocolate and pie would be just perfect though.

Sorry Robert, it has to be tea and biccies. Coffee and hot chocolate are both very acceptable beverages but not when working on ones motorcycle.
It just wouldn't be cricket.
There are standards you know.

Don't forget to check on the ground hogs periodically as well. Don't want them drowning with your monsoon weather.

I envy him for managing to get some footage at all...
I am totally in "the zone" while on the job, hardly getting myself to take some decent photos...
Decent tunes in the background, a sip on a Coke bottle now and then, that's about it...

 

[Smudgemo]

Not too many people that would pull the engine for a noise like he described, much less know what action to take to rectify it.
I think this fourth installment is valuable for the guys who are doing the alternator swap or timing belt replacement to get a feel for what they're about to get into.

Is there a way to download them without getting a 'Premium' subscription?
I'd like to have them in case YouTube gets rid of them.
