Welcome to the seventh 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 continue the rebuild by fitting the cylinder heads, completing the timing and getting all the anciliary components on that can be fitted before the injector pump cambox is fitted.

Drove one of these engines for 17 years .never let us down .Also had a 6LW 120 and a 6lxdt
Only the Brits, could drive a water pump, with a method that is normally only used to drive a distributor. wtf? Very spiffy overhaul, a truly worthy effort to keep a piece of history alive and running!
Beautiful engine i cant wait to see it run again
I seem to remember sixty years ago as a young apprentice a crane fell into the sewerage ponds. After it had been pulled out I was given the task of recommissioning the engine. Took the sump off cleaned it up , changed all the filters and after being submerged for weeks the Gardiner engine ran as good as new. Nice to see your video.
When I was doing it for a living, a long time ago, 4LW and 6LW engine overhauls. Great engines. Appreciate the videos, nice to see it done properly.🇦🇺
This video takes me back quite a few years,old memories.Thank you.
Roll on Part 8. I am looking forward to the test run. In the meantime I can enjoy watching the previous vids. Many thanks from a new subscriber who's Dad worked at Gardners in the parish of Patricroft during the 60/70s.
Great video 👍🏻 I was fortunate enough to visit the factory in Peel Green on a school trip as I lived in Urmston and if I remember they were looking for apprentices 🤔
Good work sir❤
1,5,3,6,2,4 ..........it would rev so slowly on steep hills you would count the firing order....

This is very interesting and so very nicely done!
Subscribed, am waiting for the next video :)
Thank you! Cheers! Next video coming soon
You put the water rail on over painted mating surfaces. Explain. I've always heard people say metal on metal so bolts don't loose tension.
I just can`t believe the Gardner company has disappeared. What a waste. And why.?
Unfortunately Gardner didn't move with the times and were late to the turbocharging fold which allowed the likes of Cummins to get a foothold by offering higher power outputs than Gardner could. By the time Gardner did go turbocharged it was to little to late with some of the last models like the LYT and LG1200 being rushed to market and suffering from reliability issue which tarnished the name that had been known for unrivalled reliability.
Best therapy ever rebuilding takes me back to stripping auxiliary engines off afloat ,cheers 👍
Was the flywheel rubbing plate machined? if so did the flywheel/pressure plate flange need anything taken off to compensate?
0.003" Taken off the flywheel plate and the same off the pressure plate to clean up the faces. depth of the flywheel plate altered (as its bolt in) to compensate for it.
Oi! Boxhill!! You bad person; you omitted to mention route 244...And your excuse is...?
