great vidieo pal, keep em up👍

02 EB 05 was my drive in 1973-74. it was 14B of 4th troop A squadron 3 RTR a Fallingbostel Germany. BFPO 38. at the time it was a mk2

fantastic to see the work you guys are doing, a real passionate team who clearly enjoy their work ! Keep it up ! and save more pieces of militaria history !

This is our first Vblog any feedback or suggestions drop them in the comments here :)

Excellent very informative. I am a Detroit diesel fan and find engineering from the past to be slightly better made than today's wafer thin computer designs !! They didn't quite get it right with the L60 but flipping heck it's a scary sounding beast at night on exercise you wouldn't want one to run over your foot !!!! Can Bovington help you out with the oily bits ? Your doing a fantastic job of keeping the history alive ! Good luck , there must be a fresh pack around wrapped up in grease waiting patiently somewhere !!!!!

As with most things initially it was unreliable but it got sorted. So say the guys who ran them and looked after them. Apparently liner O rings where problem but got modified and sorted among other things.

Excellent video. Sound was a bit low. I've always wanted to know more about these engines & info on the internet is a bit sparse. Good luck with finding parts and completing the rebuild

what was the main reason for failure on those L60 engines, they get a lot of criticism but if you think about it the designers were on the right track to come up with a 12 piston power pack a very small space compared to the continental v12 in an m60. Great sound though when running. The Cummins VT525 in our vehicles were ok depending on who rebuilt them.

Very look like a 5TDF ( T-64 Engine) and 10D100 ( Russian diesel loco TE10 series)

Have you got footage of the supercharger?

I wonder why not trying to rebuild the liner - they could be made therefore you could repair, would be difficult I grant

Where is the engine oil?

How are the cranks conected, and where the main shaft exits?

I bet the equivalent Russian tank engine wasnt as complicated, whatever happened to keep it simple.

I live in the U.S. , I see these tanks ( Chieftains ) for sale and would love to buy one and ship it back to the U.S. if I had the money. I would have to change out that L60 engine, I know how notorious it is of braking down and was the " Achilles Tendon " for that tank when it was in service in the U.K. and elsewhere. Would it be possible , hard or ease to swap that L60 with a American Detroit Diesel Inline 6 cylinder 71 series engine kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK19mNigtMmrc40.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLOCeatpvNfHgps.html ??? if you did some welding and get the mounts lined up, got the bell housing and flywheel coupled to the transmission input shaft, modify all the fuel lines , heat exchanger cooling lines to radiator etc. Could it be done in your opinion ??? Thanks Great video

Make new one
