Allen Millyard Kawasaki Five 1998

At the 1998 Classic Mechanics Show, Allen Millyard cut up two Kawasaki S1B engines by hand and constructed a 415cc five cylinder engine which he later demonstrated.

[@mr.rm250rodneylynn8]

In my eyes this guy is a genius hands down! 👍

[@stimpacat]

your eyes didn't lie, mine seen the same. my brother has a 223IQ, so i can see genius. The viper engine is sick, Allen the steely eyed missile man.

[@nigelbews3335]

Incredible skills.. I'm amazed he just uses a hacksaw!

[@TheDutchShepherd]

Even Stevie wonder acknowledges that this man is a genius

[@michaeltaylor8835]

people cannot comprehend the level of skill required to do what allan does

[@davidelliott5843]

Most engineers would use machine tools and still make a mess of it.

[@danieldupont1077]

In fact, yes. Was speaking about Jim recently. And do not know how he can realize that kind of work with basic tools.

[@timothywhieldon1971]

the reason you are correct is that he makes it look like its no big deal...

[@derekbond3512]

What a totally unique craftsman, incredible eye for detail.

[@Martmns]

Allan Millyard - a genius, an artist, an engineering wizard and a master craftsman all rolled into one!

[@mattlennymoore282]

You’re a bloody legend! Do what you do until you physically can’t anymore. You are an inspiration to us all. Amazing!

[@beowulf5982]

Allen Millyard a modest family man working in a small workshop who has a passion. I salute you.

[@zoebettina]

That video explains manhood. Guys standing around an running engine that fullfills no other purpose than running. If u don't get it...there is no way to explain it.

[@nonyahbiznezz9094]

I defenently saw and could relate to that testosterone feeling hanging like a fog in the air!

[@AllenMillyard]

The engine has been in a bike on Guernsey for the last 22 years

[@TastyChevelle]

@@AllenMillyard Hey Allen!

[@chrisbraid2907]

He rebuilds these engines so he can own something common yet unique .... I love his understanding of how to balance his created multi cylinder bikes.... he proved that the T500 wasn’t just two cylinders of a Kawasaki 750 .

[@nonyahbiznezz9094]

Absolutely I agree with you. Allen millyard is a freaking genius. I think I mentioned it to another post or comment I've never seen anybody hacksaw a piece of metal or aluminum that precisely a guy why does my hacksaw blade always turn left or right? I really like his projects.

[@rdaystrom4540]

Allen Millyard can think "outside the box", take action, and accomplish goals better than anyone I have ever seen or heard of.

[@1110Zappa]

Absolutely awesome engineering skills. I'm really amazed what Allen can achieve with the gift he has. Well done that man.

[@janeblogs324]

Engineering is math and calculations, this is craftsmanship

[@celtisafricana4984]

A particularly gifted lunatic! I love it!

He is the best at what he does. I don't think another Allen Millyard will ever be.

[@tonypritchard777]

What an absolute genius !👍🏻

[@thewatcher5271]

This Guy Does More With A Hacksaw Before 9:00 AM Than Most Of Us Do All Day!! He Could Make A Yamaha TZ-750 Into An 8-Cylinder!!

[@rdaystrom4540]

Only Allen Millyard. One of a kind. He should be on the Queen's list of exceptional people to be Knighted.

[@superbike1]

Allen said that at school he just kept turning up to metalwork so in the end they just let him have a free roam.

[@bsimpson6204]

I never knew that but I’m not surprised he started young, it’s a gift.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

5 cylinder 2 stroke amazing

[@davidelliott5843]

The snag with all Japanese triples was overheating the middle pot. The 250 and 350 were ok if not souped up but the 500 and above were either ladders like Suzuki 550 or prone to blowing up like the big Kawasakis. The air cooling fins look stunning but they don’t cool effectively across the whole bank.

[@JETJOOBOY]

Totally practical and reliable too... unlike that useless 48 cylinder thing (interesting project but entirely useless). All of Allen's bikes are better than standard in every regard ..

[@michaeltaylor8835]

22 years later still going strong . Bravo

[@philipeddolls7539]

A rare, unique and amazing talent! Respect!

[@steveosborne6005]

This man is a genius I love what he does.

[@DickHertz247]

Introducing the secret weapon of mechanical engineering to the public: The Hacksaw. Years before the invention of the next level: The Barbecue. All coming from, ehem, the garden shed. This is incredible and I admire everything I have got to know so far, a lot. He could go big anywhere, MIT, Oxford University, Kawasaki development, a company of his own. But most important, he has been a Superdad as well!

[@genxguy]

It would be an honor to meet Alan, he is a a very talented and passionate Genius

I was at that show, I remember seeing Mr Millyard there.

[@hollowaysteve]

Looking very pleased with himself.. And so he should!

[@theravedaddy]

10 confused milenials thumbed this down. They didnt understand what a hacksaw is. A prime example of this is the clown whos launched a tirade of abuse in the replies below. He thinks this comment is directed at Allen!

[@rogerbarrett9920]

the ravedaddy - also they had never seen a 2 stroke! 😊

[@cityofplant]

I couldn't even cut a piece of paper straight with a sharp scissor.

[@rattusnorvegicus4380]

He still uses a hacksaw to this day....that`s his workout, have you seen his biceps. Only occasionally uses a 1mm slitting disc in a hand-grinder because that`s for today`s limp-wristed weak souls.

[@larsschothorst5888]

Ok, boomer

[@theravedaddy]

@@larsschothorst5888 oh, its the ok boomer reply.... did you enjoy looking at Allens boomer skills then? Or were you trying to understand what a hacksaw does?

[@JohnSmith-fb7nz]

Allen, how do you get to sleep at night with all that ability and ideas bouncing around

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Man put a mini cooper engine in a BSA frame when he was 15

[@yves3560]

Allen makes it look easy :)

[@tombrewer8136]

This man certainly deserves his due but lets remember who developed the original designs that he utilizes.

[@ouimetco]

It’s hard to believe he was young once and still did this stuff….was he born this way?

[@S8250503]

Ah, the old "calibrated tap." Used to great effect by RAF Radar techs on the Phantom MCS.

[@davidelliott5843]

Suzuki water cooled their 750 triple to avoid the middle cylinder overheating. They went massively OTT on the engineering but it was reliable. Kawasaki just put bigger carb jets in the middle pot so got a reputation for horrible fuel consumption. I would love to see Allen’s five with water cooling. Edit- Or maybe put a fan in front of each middle cylinder to push cooling air through.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

How many onlookers understood what he was doing??

[@H4rleyBoy]

What a man.

[@amcj10]

Allen is the only person I know that has a hand-operated CNC hacksaw....

If i had my way it would be like Porsche 356 race motors that dowel pin connect.....All balanced and sealed perfectly because you do realize theres lots of dynamics going on with the curvarure, casting internally that big time effects the scavaging of mixed fuel and air.........The super in the know Japanese engineers work all that out before any casting of the KH and S triple engine cases were casted...
