Welcome to the second video of this series, those of you who already follow us will know that the videos we post are normally short clips of an engine running after overhaul or when it first arrives with us. In this series after many requests we will be following the stripdown, inspection and restoration of a Gardner 6LXB from a 1972 Atkinson Borderer. In this video we give it a check over before trying to start the engine to assertain its general condition after 52 years and nearly a million miles.

Just discovered your videos. Brilliant. I have 2 x 6lxbs in a passenger ferry. Lovely engines. She gets pulled up for the winter. When I start them for the first time in a couple months I get that noise of 1 or 2 valves sticking every time without fail. After that I don't hear it again for the rest of the season.
