Gardners are some of the smoothest running diesels ever built. Whoever came up with the camshaft timing events was a genius.
Spot on. Some of the buses in the Uk in the 70s / early 80s were Gardner powered. They always had super smooth idle. None of the hunting that the Leyland engines used to display.
The Gardner Engines have a Deserved Legendary status . Beautiful Engines . Best of their time , and still pretty good by todays standards .
Do you like these GARDNER engines ?
Yeah
Greetings from North Dakota.
Thankful for those who saved these engines from being scrapped and took the time to keep them in running condition for the rest of us to enjoy seeing and hearing.
My Father had Gardener LK 4 in his boat at Scarborough N/York’s . It started ever time you pressed the button.
Powerful and reliable.
Absolutely brilliant the Gardner factory used to be in Patricroft, my brother is a hgv driver ,I love the sound of the engines which were known for their reliability and power.
The 6 LX B the iconic engine ever built
Best diesel engines ever built!, easy to work on and virtually indestructable!, they can stand for years but with a little work they soon run again.
Ces moteurs sont comme des œuvres d'art
One of the best engines built, hence why the fairground love them, they run all day long
I'm looking at a 42 foot wood ex troller built in 1962 that has a 6 cylinder gardner. The engine is what I like best about it.
Those valve arms dancing in time with one another - beautiful.
I've admired Gardner Diesels nearly all my life. In the early 60's one of our school busses was a Daimler with a 5 cylinder Gardner diesel and I thought it was just great.
I drove lorries around UK with these engines, they where not fast but always reliable
A couple of years ago I have been driving English doubledeckers. The Bristol type doubledeckers had I've been driving had a 3+3 engine. The engine produced nice clouds of smoke specially after running idle for some time. There were also buses that had a 2+3 engine configuration. The Lodekka doubledeckers had those engines as well as the later Bristol VR. Nice engines always running good.
I used to work on a light vessel. We had 4 Gardener 1l2s I think they were single cylinder for heating and lights, and two 4lws for the fog signal. I always loved going down the engine room to help.
I had one of them [the third in this piece] in the Bosphorus ferry I restored in Istanbul. Wonderful long stroke engine. Ir was rebuilt twice [the first was a disaster] . I put an extra dynamo on that fan belt to give me charge for 24 volt batteries. It was terribly smoky bur extremely reliable. I miss it. I had to get rid of the boat when I had , as usual, to get down with a hammer to to start it when the cog had lined up with the missing teeth on the flywheel. It was obviously getting more and more difficult with older age. The teeth were ripped out when a Turkish friend who knew nothing about engines bagged to be allowed to start it !
Thanks for this! Superb engines, but not smooth! Bristol buses of the 1930s to the late 1940s with the 4LW were really rough and with the 5LW had constant vibration. Luckily with the low rpm lugging power a driver could mostly keep the revs down and limit the vibration. Bristol introduced flexible engine mountings in 1949, after which they were smoother.
I love old English diesels, they all have their own unique sounds. Gardner was very smooth and I believe quite over engineered for long life
I would have that in a decent sized boat in a heartbeat.
Gardner the Rolls Royce of diesels
Rolls royce made various high speed diesel engines
I don't know if any Rolls-Royces got Gardner engines but the Gardner Company put a Gardner engine in the boss's Jaguar
@@jacobmoses3712 And the Gardner Bentley ? See also Joe McCool's Land Rover conversion.
@@jacobmoses3712 was apparently common to drop a Gardner into big luxury cars during the war, 40-50mpg being important with the rationing.
That's what British engineering has been.
Bellissimi 😍💪
Chiming in from Ontario, Canada...Some of those are pretty smooth!
I can hear this all the day 🤣
I worked down a coal mine, on locomotives fitted with "flameproofed" Gardener 6lw or 4lw engines. They where easy to work on and very robust, especially in the hands of some rather clumsy drivers.
We had to galvanise the aluminium cases when we rebuilt coal board engines there was a waterfall in the spray shed to catch the overspray.
The LW is shown with a Gilkes bronze seawater circulating pump which I was involved in supplying.
Does the three cylinder sound quieter than the 6?
Cual es el modelo de motor para uso ferroviario? Gracias
Gardner diesels best of British engineering run like sewing machine
That 3LW first engine was like beautiful sex at it's best! Well almost 👍
These were used in ERF trucks in the 70s and 80s?
The 6lxb was
You know its a well built engine when it doesn't even use a headgasket to seal
I’ve fitted so many 😩
Didn't Gardner make an in line 8 cylinder diesel? Seems like I saw a video of one in a boat.
They made a few different 8 cylinder engines in LW, LXB/C (turbo charged versions too) and L3/B engine ranges. Don't know if ever did 8 cylinder versions of early two stroke hot bulb engines.
They did make 8 cylinder hot bulb engines.
The 4lk 3.8 litre engine developed 60 BHP at 2100rpm was opened up to 3000rpm for use in cars, never heard of the LW engine in cars. It's in the Gardner book. You never mentioned the LK engine. Attention to details makes the difference between success and failure.
Plus the 4LK was used in midget submarines.
And it has a bigger brother in the 6LK.
@@matui6983 6LK never went into production.
True. But one does still exist.
As you can see by the clothes the man is wearing it's really cold. Maybe 20 degrees C or 70 degrees F
Where are you from ?
Place called earth I think XD
@@spotty4710 Home, actually... ;)
@@danmackintosh6325 ah yes, that aswell
8LXB PURE CLASS 240
i an sure i worked on 8 pot versions that was fitted in the ERF early seventies ?
Yes you are correct it listed in my lady Bird book of commercial trucks published in the late 60,s It was rated at 240 hp I think their last model was a 6LY Ti rated at around the 360hp it was a bit overstressed for fishing boat applications
No matter how many cylinders they all have the same injector knock
Oil engine
All at idle. Sucks
