I first learned the name Allen Millyard living in New Zealand (1988-ish) buying Brit motorcycle magazines with articles about this guy building insane multi-cylinder Kawasaki H engines with files and a hacksaw. I could not have imagined a future where I could actually watch this person’s hands and mind at work. You’re a treasure, Allen, solid gold.

I feel a bit foolish working on my Grandsons go-kart while watching you improve this piece of history. When I'm done with that, I can start bringing my barn find (and it looks it) 72 Triumph Bonneville I just bought back to life. I can't wait! I haven't worked on a nice British motorcycle since my 71 Norton Combat 750. I wish I had such a talented baker in my life. You're a lucky man! Edit... I have to admit, working with my Grandson, showing him and letting him turn some wrenches has been a great source of joy for me. He's doing a great job and is full of 'how does this work?' questions!❤ Thank you Allen for bringing us along! ❤J.W. A great fan of yours in Massachusetts.

I remember doing that with the 8 valves in my Kwak 750 Turbo back in the 90s and being glad when I finished the last one. Allen has my sympanthy having to do this with 4 times as many ... With my OCD, after using the fine grinding paste I used Solvol Autosol as the final grinding paste. No idea whether that actually made a difference, but the bike did go like the clappers afterwards ... that may have been down to the other things done to it though.

Milly’s god like engineering, Tracey’s baking, I could watch and listen to this for hours. Lapping the valves in took me back a few years, I thought everyone nowadays uses electric drills, by hand is the proper way because then you can hear when it’s close to done.
@dougankrum3328

Lapping....I also use the 'stick'.....if the valves are ground and match the seat/s...just a few turns will lap them in. I've owned several Harleys and lap all the valves, even the new valves often need it....If I need to really remove some material, I clamp a 6" long piece of rubber oil line to the stem of the valve, stick a cut off bolt in the other end, and use my electric drill motor for a while.
