fine machine
You will not get big fuel bills with this one had the 4LW in the Bonnie Lass went for weeks after filling the tanks.
If ye had the price o' a brand new 4LW and a 2UC box in yer hip pooch the noo Bryan,ye widnae be bothered whether ye were at sea on Monday morning or no 
Aye Ronnie your right there would not like the bill for it noo . over hauld it in 91 and the spares cost a fortune could have bought a new fordie for the same money but it run like a watch after its overhaul.
"Good engines are the gardner.I did a7 year apprentice ship on the engines. I found the 5lw a bit uneven the 6lw was a lot smoother running engine. the 4lk was the one used in boats. also i did put one in a car. it was a old lagonda owened by a fair ground owner. but they were a very noisy engine the best engine was the 6lx that was the daddy of them all.
Had a 6lxb on our old boat could not fault it easy on fuel
my last boat had a 3lw with a 2-1 gardener box a very boring engine all you ever had to do to it was change oil regular. never let me down .
