Panther Model 100 engine; Part 3: Out with the old.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- The 1955 Model 100 Panther's engine has been in use for well over 30 years and it's worn out. In this, the third of five episodes we bring the motorcycle back to the bench, remove the old engine and prepare our rebuilt one for installation in part four. A fifth video will cover its first road trial, to the seaside for fish and chips.
Thank you for another lovely video most enjoyable
Yet another very interesting and enjoyable video, thanks for sharing.
A pleasure to see old friends (and new) following our latest escapades Frank. I think there's enough in the bag from this year's rides and spannering to see us through next winter.
A simple machine requiring years of familiarity. Unlike new motorcycles, which are complex machines needing a computer terminal and the application of cash.
The stacking parts boxes are a revelation to me. Thanks for that one. Ronn
I love your videos, the work itself, so much attention to detail, but more importantly the calm voiceover, only speaking when you can add value to the images, but enough to fill in the gaps. Wonderful
Your videos are fantastic. As they say every day is a school day, and I have learnt a lot from your videos. I am a motorcyclist, but I do not own a Panther, or a British bike. I did own a Triumph TR6 (Ex-Police bike). I have grown to love the old bikes from your videos, as well as Paul Henshaw, and David Mitchel (Classic motorbike Channel). It is pleasing to see who you deal with problems and resolve them.
Your style and sense of humor is great, and I love your ride outs. Dont ask me what I ride because you will bar me from your shows, but all nine of them are classics, ie over 40 years old.
Keep up the good work and cant wait until the next episode.
Kind Regards
Andrew Haley.
Ps Will we see Angie on her BSA
We (I am doing my part to be responsible here) have benefitted from part 1 and are now looking forward to part 2. Thank you P.O.C.
Oh the fun I used to have as a callow youth making up throttle, clutch and gearchange cables for my aging Vespa 150 Super (Yes, I know but I soon saw the light..) You could buy new complete cables but it was such a pain to thread them through the frame that nobody bothered, instead owners became adept at leaving the outers in place and making up new inners to thread down (or up..) them - My mates used to joke that instead of MPG my Vespa had CPT.. Cables Per Trip..
As always, your video was well worth waiting for. Bring on the next instalment.
Thank you for producing these videos, your efforts are much appreciated.
God, I love these videos !.. I'm not just saying this either (and I know I'm not alone..) but when I saw that POC had posted another video and that it was over 20 minutes long I spontaneously grinned like a Cheshire cat !.. Only POC and Dave Mitchell of Classic Motorcycle Channel have this curious affect on me, these videos always seem to fly by, I just wish they could be longer !..
Absolutely fabulous video. I can't wait until the next one and to see the Panther back on the road.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They are such a great resource for less confident mechanics like myself. My M100 is due a much needed overhaul, it could be this winters project. With your videos and Mr Neal's book I stand a good chance.
I don't suppose you are stripping a Burman box down any time soon?
Keep up the good work! All the very best, Jim.
I really do enjoy your videos!😃 Thanks for taking the time to do them!
Another great video. Thank you!
Absolutely awesome! 👍👏👌
Correct use of English and engineering terms, coupled with subtle intelligent humour. Don't those make a refreshing change from other UA-cam motorcycle videos?
Bliss.
Brilliant video, well up to the usual standard, always a joy to watch......one question, what do you mean by a hollow punch? I take it you do not mean a punch for cutting holes in leather or paper....The local bike fixer, Nicholas Sheldrake who I used to pester in my youth, used to call the spread end of a cable ready for solder a "Cats Arse"
Thanks Andrew. On the forming of cable ends I used to simply spread them with a dot punch but found a tendency for the ends to poke from the solder fill and need filing back. The punch I now use has a rounded hollow in the end which tends to gather the tips of the inner cable and spread them lower down, a little part-clenched fist. It's a bit neater.
something for me to look out for or make, thanks for that.

First time I've seen someone making a custom cable, what is that clamping device, that you used, does it allow you to form / flatten the end of the inner cable, before you solder on the nipple?. Good informative video, very enjoyable. I was a motor mechanic most of my working life, mainly cars, vans, trucks, BMC apprenticeship.
**CLANK** There goes the tray full of oil.. Been there recently 😭
Oh no !.. What melted the petrol tank knee grip ?.. Have I missed something ?...
Engine oil is quite black..
