A well built engine , tough as old boots were gardners , but the drawback was the last bloke on the production line , the one that fitted the oil leaks! A gallon per day was quite normal , even on relatively new engines . Wherever you parked a Gardner there was an oil patch underneath . Having said all that , they earned me a lot of money over a lot of years , cheers , dave
Ah, that’s one we can blame on the wimmin, there were a lot of the fairer ■■■ on the Gardner engine production line.
