It’s got nothing to do with political correctness, it’s humour. Jimmy Carr says worse on stage and gets away with it.

32 Base Workshop, Bicester, although a REME establishment was staffed by civvies - of which I was one. I was certainly there at the time that card was dated [Sept 86] although all I can recall being worked on was loads of 432's, lots of Vauxhall Chevettes, Air-Drop pallets, pallet trucks and millions and millions of boiling vessels. Early to mid 86 had seen a huge recruitment program of engineers from "outside" in preparation for some large refurb prog which never eventually came off. Loads of blokes from all over the country [all living locally in lodgings], the biggest contingent being a troop of scousers from Liverpool City Council Buses who were all supposedly diesel experts [not]. The money was crap, the lodgings mostly crap and the equipment in the workshop antiquated. I stuck it for a year and moved on.

Isn't it nice seeing how the professionals do it, They make it look so easy it should be quite a marathon putting that tiny engine back in without damaging the rest of the truck as I'm assuming you want to use it for its intended purpose afterward? At the moment you would make a good scrap merchant mechanic cry. [ can't wait for the next installment ]

I`ll have you know us REME guys would have had it out by now lol

Nice Cummins 8.3 6ct fit lovely in there with healthy 300hp ish. What engine you guys thinking

The record of work you guys found is from a base workshop in Bicester -manned by civvies ? Need I say more . These wagons were never out of the workshops steering /clutches /quill shafts in the walking beam axle , unless the AEC Wrecker was unavailable these things sat in a shed - 30 mph flat out easier to keep a hovercraft in a straight line . As a Craine to lift out chieftain or Cent packs out it will be champion but that’s all really.

It's good to see you guys taking health and safety so seriously, always had a fire extinguisher in shot!🤣 Can't wait for the next video, keep them coming😁

i love how stabby the radiator supports look, perfect for slipping onto. leyland think of everything.

Another awesome video from you guys, thanks and keep them coming.

Matt: "Oh no we got the wrong spanners!" Cast into the engine: "UNF" Loved the 'joint' comment as well. Fooking hilarious!

You need a crane to do all that heavy lifting 🤣

Squint while you watch and it's like a Christmas movie with a bunch of very sweary, dirt coloured garden gnomes

Keep the videos coming!

2 people giving what looks to be conflicting instructions to the telehandler operator at one point... NICE!

Loved it, More, pop the RR back in let’s see it run before you go TDiesel. I guess a 6.7 petrol is a bit small, but a supercharger would boost Torque considerably.MPGs are already terrible.

I'd use the damaged fan as a sign that you definitely need a new engine.

Just catching up with your previous videos, learning the history of your channel. Very interesting how you acquire the various machines. You should take a bit more care with your safety tho'. Enjoying the vlogs, thank you.

Lmfao, internet quote of the day 💯 🤣

A friend of mine has a Stalwart. I think that B80 is a fantastic sounding thing. I just hate diesels being shoe-horned into classic military vehicles, it takes the heart right out of them. However, I’m not going to be handing over wads of cash for petrol to be piped into a working recovery vehicle that has to pay and perform for its living.

The stalwart along with the mk1 432 had a B81

There was something very fanny about that rad lift :o

I can’t believe how small that engine is and such a massive truck No wonder it is so slow and uses so much fuel

Come on Chaps , there's a War On . Montgomery needs that Vehicle .

Gotta have a look when I get into work tomorrow but we've got a Leyland roadtrain artic cab unit with a Rolls Royce turbo diesel that looks similar to that engine you took out, can get you more details if you're interested?

Update: Engine in the roadtrain is a Rolls Royce/Perkins Eagle P265 L1.

Think you need to find either a formula Cummings or a pre electronic Volvo or Scania 6cyl unless you can find a V8 scania perkins are rubbish for this sort of application . With that Petrol motor you would have to be in the gallons per mile territory or terrible close to it . Cheers from Australia

Cummings?? Who makes those ?

Matt, if you are going to put a diesel back in there is only one possible engine to use. May I introduce the Gardner 6LXB… or if you want to go really old school and keep the straight eight theme it has to be an 8LXB, though that might require some creative engineering. One other point, the old girl would have been screwed together with either BSF/BSW or unified threads, time to break out those spanner’s you found.

Been bothering me where I had seen Joe before. Just twigged, did he sell someone a tank with £2.5 million of gold hidden inside?

A straight 8 might have been ‘ something ‘ in 1922, but 100 years on, there is a LOT better!.

No wonder BL & all British railway, road, aircraft and ship industries are extinct. It’s a piece of cake removing a gardner 6LW from a Scammell pioneer…. Or any engine from any WW2 truck. OR the engine from an RT bus. This is my rant about shoddy PW British engineering. An Austin Champ would be just as much, or more, of a nightmare.

FFS you guys made a meal of removing the engine with the tele-handler ... if only you had a decent mobile crane , oh hang on ... lol

The guy who you said lied was not R.E.M.E ,the job was done in a base repair workshop so probably a civilian

Totally agree even at a field workshop the repair ceiling in hours would send this old girl back to a base workshop where guess what it’s all civvies that do the work . May have an all but retired ASM or EME

Is there room to put a proper diesel into it?

Didn't you guys have an old Scania laying around?.

Finding a decent Cummings that would fit makes far more sense than putting that gas guzzler back in - you would have a useable vehicle then, rather than a dinosaur.
