gwrightoy Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Can anyone tell me what vehicle the British army had with a Leyland 600 engine. Apparently the inlet valves I needed identifying are for that engine. Thanks Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Aren't the Leyland 600 inlet valves masked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Unable to check the part number, but to answer your question on what vehicles the Army used with Leyland 600, I seem to recollect the Marshall Gainsborough loading shovel was powered by one.

philb Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks Richard. I'll update the records in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Now I've done the sensible thing and looked at a data book, I can see that the vales are not masked. Trying to be more helpful, it seems the O600 was fitted to some Hippos (as well as lots of commercial vehicles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Phil, I have a feeling the Leyland 19H trucks used by the RAF in the Fifties (refueller, radar, etc) had the O600 engine. Only saw one in army service and that was a tipper.

2691H Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Also look at RM Routemaster buses, my bus RM1312 was original a Leyland engined bus. The Routemaster Association is a good place to look for spares info. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
