The reason I like Gardener engines, is because I am an old mechanic. Simply put, they work properly. There is nothing to dislike.
Finest engines ever made & most reliable .
Thats nice at 3:28 ! To be honest they all are , nice sounding engines .
old engineering staying alive. great story
Do you like these GARDNER engines ?
I used to work on these when I worked for British Road Services back in the early 1970s, they were fitted into Bristol lorries. They used to say a bad driver could damage any engine but not the Gardiner it killed drivers because they had to use the gearbox because the Gardiner was so slow reving.Mid 70s they were stripped out overhauled then sent to South Africa to pump water out of Diamond mines also Feast and showmen bought as many as they could. Beautiful engine sounded so sweet to a trained ear I can identify one by sound without seeing it, British engineering at its best, long may they run.
From a real fan.
I sure do. they look and sound great.
Everybody loves a Gardner cold start!!
Fantastic engines. Would love to have a boat powered by one.
I used to drive buses with Gardner engines and used to work on them sometimes. An old boss of mine had a lovely old Lagonda car, I think it was a 1939. Unfortunately he had fitted a 4 cylinder Gardner engine from a Guy Arab bus. The whole car shook when it was started, his wife wouldn't travel in it. It was cheaper to run with the diesel engine.
i remember the 180s and 240s as a kid when going to work with my dad they smoked a lot and made your eyes run when a the wagons started up you could not see them for the diesel fumes good memories .
Bet you remember the diesel smell too? I feel like I am a lot older than I actually am, I love old machinery and the smell of an old diesel engine running or being fired up really really really gets me very happy and excited,
They look and sound nice. Thanks for posting!
Good reliable diesel engines I remember the Leyland fleetline buses as a boy had them in and the atlanteans I think too.
I´m a big Detroit Diesel fan but these Gardner´s are really sweet sounding engines.
Brilliant video, like Gardner engines, great start-up's
6lxb or8lxb two of the best marine engines ever
Helo
the.best.engines.ever.made
Great video, lovely Gardner engines it which sound glorious.
PLEASE change the thumbnail picture of a marine Perkins Phaser though.............
A contribution to global warming
exhaust will make your hair fallout
Why show a Perkins Diesel when your talking about Gardner,chalk and cheese comes to mind,worked on both engines and lived two miles from the Gardner factory in Patricroft where they were manufactured,brilliant engine if you weren’t in a hurry but reliability was legendary,the Perkins I ran in a 16tonne tipper,good engine but loved oil if it was fitted with Chrome liners but pulled well.
Thinking back, the 6.354 with chrome liners had a 'c' in the engine number i think...and you couldnt fit chrome rings to chrome liners 🤔😉
@@robdavies7 You are right,cast iron rings had to be fitted to chrome liners because one of them had to hold oil,because mine was using so much oil I decided to overhaul it,I had the chrome liners removed and cast iron liners fitted in their place after having the parent bore remachined to take the iron liners,new pistons were fitted with the top chrome rings,i overhauled the head and rebuilt the engine with new big end and main bearings. Oil consumption was next to nil after the rebuild but it NEVER pulled as well. The chrome liners I removed had no wear on them whatsoever and I wish I had just put new pistons in with the cast iron rings to solve the oil consumption.
@@davidellis279 perkins rattling smoky old things
@@thomascatford2627 I can tell by your comment your an expert on these engines,I’ve only had 60 years of working on all types of Diesel engines,I think you’ll find that Perkins are no more rattley or Smokey than any other engine of the day years ago,they all rattled and smoked but things have changed a lot over the years. The early Perkins engines only rattled because they were indirect injection but there’s millions still running around the world in poorer countries.
@@davidellis279 L4 P6 R6 all rattling smoky dour to start engines compared to a gardner , leyland 680 or even a 4D
Im a automotive mechanic in Australia and ive never heard of gardner engines! Thanks for posting.
Never heard of Gardner engines ? Been fitted to boats , lorries, buses generators for years.
@@thomascatford2627 i believe you my dude. They where probably really popular domestically but may not have been exported very much.
Also im of a younger generation. Ive only every worked on cars, the oldest being a 1975 model project car.
@@MrShakotan gardner engines were exported from the uk to the far east for boat engines 6 and 8 cylinders. ua-cam.com/video/syYKRct5Oug/v-deo.html my erf 4LKG with gardner 4LK engine
Gardner even had single cylinder engines the 1L2 I have restored one of them works like a clock!! ua-cam.com/video/CDxiiuBNX94/v-deo.html
Thumbnail is a marine Perkins(-Sabre). It's a 6.354, 1006, or 1106; not certain which generation it is. Aka, in its more recent versions, Caterpillar 3056 / C7.1 (Perkins -Sabre is now Cat Marine, selling under both Perkins & Cat brands). Although Gardiner became part of Perkins (via Rolls-Royce), it's not a Gardiner engine.
first 8 wheeler truck i owned 1979 foden gardner 180 i hated it with a passion when i took the truck to the hgv testing center the fitter said before you go in run the rag spanner round the engine he had to explain as wipe the engine for oil leeks as they come as standard on the gardner engine
Refused to develop new designs and move with the times for demand of more power and cleaner combustion both in automotive and marine duty. A great shame really.
when gardner fitted turbos they become unreliable
Go forever Engine & incredible Engineering. But iff you were in a industrial area or fishing port on a cold early morning Jesus you could not see for tears from your eyes & couldn’t breath due to fumes (just incredible) Shame absolutely nothing done to rectify, it was like Gardner said ! Just get on with it. So eventually the orders dried up for Gardener, Shame.
Where are you from ?
Russia, Yaroslavl, we produce ЯМЗ engines and once produced two-stroke ЯАЗ 206, 204 diesels
I'm from Indonesia, and UA-cam recommended it for me😂,But I like content like this, I also usually watch videos like this
Usa.
Sweden, I´ve never seen a Gardner engine here, of course we have a long history with Bolinder-Munktell, Volvo, Scania and other great brands, however Perkins are not rare, so it isn´t fair...
