Starting and running of a rare Kromhout type LK diesel engine

On Ebay.au there is a parts book for sale for LK's.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm sure you can find a lot of books on Gardner engines in the UK and UK book websites. Good luck on the restoration!

Very good video! Thanks for sharing! I have been looking for Gardner 4LK engine because a friend has one installed on a Dodge Truck. The engine (my friends) was reconditioned in 1951, and now he is restoring the truck... Where can I get information about the Gardner 4LK engine? Thanks!

Excellent video, this engine is based on Gardner 4lk engine, 3.8 litres 3 3/4 inch bore by 5 1/4 inch stroke rated at 60bhp at 2100rpm for truck use. Can't beat a long stroke engine for low revs and torque.

This Engine was manufactured by Gardner Engines.

This engine was manufactured by Gardner under license, in Manchester England.

If it was under license, who made it in the first place.

@johnsenkenn The engine was made by Kromhout under licence of Joseph Gardner & sons of Manchester
