He’s just finished building a 6 cylinder z1 engine - made from a pair of Z1 spares motors. He cut / welded the crank cases, block, head all in his small home workshop. He also made his own crank, camshaft, carbs from donor parts. The guy is a bit of a genius.

He is a genius and a nice bloke that will turn up somewhere on one of his creations and stand chatting to anyone that wants to chat.He made a lovely Vee twin Velocette that looks like it’d come out of the factory

Biggest problem with doing it with a sohc4 is the line boring required for the crank bearings. Allan openly admits that the ball bearing crank arrangement in the big z’s and H two strokes make the conversion a bit more straightforward. That almost makes it sound simple, which clearly it isn’t.
But personally, his vision, skill and determination to undertake these builds, all from his home workshop simply amaze me. I’m in total awe of the guy.
