Get on to YouTube and watch his videos! Great guy, some great creations.

Have you seen his gold wing engine repair. Apparently an incorrect bearing size at manufacture was the cause?

[Laverdaroo]

I’ve not seen that one Phil, bung is the link……

Interesting video Phil so I watched the next one where he changes the green big end shell for brown on number 1 con rod iirc.

Far be for me to criticise the great Millyard but why drop the engine onto wooden blocks, if there's a gap between the blocks and the engine the last engine bolts will be quite hard to remove as all the weight of the engine will be on them. We used to use a trolley jack, lift the engine to take the weight off the hanger bolts and then when it comes free you can wheel the engine away rather than try and lift it. I also didn't notice any reference to him splitting the connection to the shaft drive, did I miss that? or did he not show it.

Thanks for the replies. I remembered the Mil part of the name, but the remainder eluded me.  Once again Many Thanks.

I know Ted. For me that was the most interesting thing. Clearly a judgement was made during manufacturing and they chose the wrong end of the bearing tolerance, employing what proved to be the wrong bearing shell. I never got to the end of the series, but I presume everything went “perfect”. I like the Millyard, even the cakes and hedge hogs stuff. I really do like the kwacker stink wheels. I’d have one too  if wasn’t for my Clipper racing expenses.

I would have loved to seen him removing the plastic! That’s the bit that terrifies me.😜

It was a Pan not a goldwing

[Sesman]

Pan, wing it’s the same thing..😁🫣 I’m a poet and I didn’t know it.

[Sesman]

Got to get me one of those. Does anybody on the forum have one? Known weakness, shortcomings?

[Bryanj]

Pan European normally pretty good, water pumps can go and changing timing belt iseasy------after you get everything off so you can touch it!!!

[taysidedragon]

I seem to remember Pans grounding out the bottom of the engine if ridden up a kerb or on speed bumps, snapping casting pieces off the sump area? Something worth checking.
