@@carllockpick6179 we were trying to assess whether by decompressing one half of the engine at a time, we got a similar drop in revs. Only by ear as we do not have a tacho yet. Seemed ok.

@@sunderlandmaritimeheritage9087 sounds OK. Carl ex Gardner fitter.

@@carllockpick6179 It hadn’t been started for over 6 years, so it was a relief to get it running and have good oil pressure. Are you located anywhere near Sunderland? You’re more than welcome to come along and see our project.

@@sunderlandmaritimeheritage9087 Thanks for the offer, but I'm not near Sunderland, but will continue to view the progress. All the best Carl.

Thanks Alec 😀

Thanks Alec.

Hi Brian. We never went away. We’re just spread a bit thin as to who can do the UA-cam stuff. Keep watching for more other stuff in the coming weeks. Thanks, Keith

Thanks Lisa, it keeps us busy and out of trouble! Jim & the lads send their regards 👍

The lighthouse was built to survive too, unlike the one up the coast at South Shields.

@@sunderlandmaritimeheritage9087 what happened to the south sheilds light?,I'm in australia didn't hear about that, cheers

English please 🇬🇧

Thanks for the kind comments. A miss to us all.

Out of 23,000 views on two channels, you are the only one to make such a stupid comment! You obviously have a strange idea about creative entertainment. Perhaps you lack sufficient understanding of the English language that you used unreliable AI to create your comment. As you have no videos on your channel and only 3 subscribers you’re hardly qualified to speak with authority. I suggest you go and learn about creativity for a few decades.

@@sunderlandmaritimeheritage9087 I consider myself a disciple of the late Christopher Hitchens, British wordsmith and iconoclast. Channeling Hitchens in my comment about nonsensical singing, I did not "...seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence." But rubbish words on the attack rolled blob-like out of my laptop demanding answers. Which are: I did not know I had any subscribers, AI Is beyond my ken, and my critique is unique after 23k views, how nice. Hitchens could be abrasive, never laid back and mellow. I, mellow-like, struck a nerve and hit pay dirt, if I may mix metaphors. Creativity? Come for a visit, we can meet on the corner of Highland and Sunset in LA.

We’re not sure of the capacity, it’s a Gardiner engine. Progress is about to commence as soon as our next fundraiser is complete. As we are a charity, everything depends on this. To see the fundraising progress, look here www.spacehive.com/restoration-of-pilot-boat-mv-wearmouth

It’s a Gardner 6LXB made in Patricroft Manchester. 10.45 litre 6 cylinder inline diesel delivering around 120 hp in marine version.

I’m sure there are plenty of 6LXB spares around and Gardner spares have a fair bit of stock too, fine engines look forward to seeing the restoration

That sounds like you’re volunteering. The contact details are in the notes, I’ll look forward to meeting you to use your local accent to full effect. Regards, Keith @ SMH

Hi David, Everyone is entitled to their opinion. With over 16k views on two channels, you’re the first to say this. If you click on the ‘more’ word just near the title you will find information about how the return came about. Maybe you don’t know that ‘more’ gives more! Regards, Keith

Hi Brian, Thanks for your kind words. This video is a few years old, before I was involved with Sunderland Maritime Heritage, so I can’t take the credit for its production. If you’re local to Sunderland or ever in the area, you can find more details about us by clicking ‘more’ just near the title. Regards, Keith

Many thanks!
