Loved watching that , I used to work for a large hgv commercial dealership in the midlands called 'Cossington Commercials ' they were mainly ERF and Gardner franchise dealers, later MAN and eventually Mercedes. Used to spend a lot of time waffling to the fitters in the engine rebuild shop , all those 6Lw's and 4lw's lined up to strip...dozens and dozens, ex London routemaster units and National Coal Board underground loco Power units... happy days can still remember the smell and sound from the engine Test shop , 18 year old in 1988 I loved it ♥️
I didn't know a Gardner engine from a hole in the ground a year ago, but I got a derelict engine going again recently (4LW), which will get a narrow guage engine operational again. Mostly thanks to your videos. Thanks a million for taking the time to do them.
I was not really familiar with Gardiner engines but since i found your channel i am intrigued. They Are fascinating to me, & have so much history. I love your channel & only wish i had even some of your knowledge on these engines. I will research all of your info just to enlighten myself. Thank you very much for giving us the insight from your many years of experience. Mr..McCool. I look forward to learning more .
The ram pump on that marine 3lw is quite happy operating with a heat exchanger or keel cooling. To control the eng temp the operator opens or closes the bypass valve to allow some hot water to re enter the suction side of plunger pump. That extra front pulley is driven directly from end of camshaft not via the crank pulley.
Hi Joe, I have a Gardner 6lxb on my boat. Can you tell me the year of manufacture from the engine number # 187913. Love the videos, very helpful. Regards Barney Maher.
Fantastic video again Joe, full of history, engineering and a fabulous presentation. Every post you put up takes me back to my days working on Gardner automotive engines. ❤️ P.S your looking very well.😊
Hi joe hope your well. Hope there someone learning all your knowledge and carrying it on. Doing the pumps off a Gardner and they guys who are doing the engine have no clue about t and having to get a 83 year old ex marine engineer to help them.
Could I track my engine down as to what it is from the engine number, it has a three grooved aluminium pulley on the front end driving the deck wash and a jabsco or originally a Gilkes pump

Terrific info Joe. Really enjoy your videos👍
Thanks Joe some very interesting points there .

Ooops, you are correct of course. Thanks for that.

Just send £10 to the Anson museum and they may be able to answer that question.

Thanks Joe for another great video, is the 6LX an original marine engine or a marinised engine?
Hi Joe, what configuration was the automotive 240 engine. Was it a 8 cylinder.?
Aah another quality video joe
Hey Joe great video as usual , do you know where I can get a six cylinder Gardner to shoehorn into a tractor
Please email me directly: tangent.gardner@gmail.com John. Thanks for the comment.
Hello Joe what's your opinion of the big 15.5 litre LYT engines
We do not get involve in them at all, at all!
Could I track my engine down as to what it is from the engine number, it has a three grooved aluminium pulley on the front end driving the deck wash and a jabsco or originally a Gilkes pump
Yes, send your engine number and £10 to the Anson museum.
Gardner guru!
For some reason I just like those engines.

Still dont know what you are talking about joe.
