That's the sort of noise you want at sea at night when its rough.

Nice clean engine room, good job.

Sailed with many Kelvin 66 and 88 engines on Thames sailing barges and Motor barges. All manual start and they could bite if you weren’t careful. Used to put a shot of petrol in each cylinder and start it. Once it caught push the rack over to diesel. Very reliable engines.

Looks alot like a 12V 6BT cummins, maybe it was the inspiration for that engine?

Nice engine, sounds well,looks well cared for.

Sure sounds nice

Too short!!!!

Oh, that'd be the new 8 cylinder 6LXB.

Dit is een 575 , of 615 M ja. 620, zou theoretisch ook kunnen. Het verschil is niet zo goed te zien. Het was in 1966 , dat ik ze reviseerde in DAF service revisie werkplaats. Leuk om weer eens te zien.

❤❤❤

I am compelled to find a diesel of comparative size...and the largest WWI era klaxon I can build.

The good old reliable Kelvin. Built in Glasgow,Scotland

nice to see the old kelvins still working.. I worked at kelvin when i left school at 15 from 1967 to 1973 as an apprentice the main factory was in stafford st in the district of townhead glasgow thats where the engines were built and all the parts were machined I worked in the engine department for 18 months then the tool room and inspection depts then the machine shop and ended up in the millwrights as a tradesman the offices were in a street called dobbies loan about two hundred yards away from the main factory thats where the engines were tested for 40 hours to make sure they were running correctly great guys I worked with happy days now the area is student accomodation for strathclyde uni and a skoda dealership at one time there were 350 people working two shifts... now all gone

good machine very good ❤

Why is the idle so high?

Sounds like a Leyland !

When did Kelvin stop building marine engines in the UK? The Internet says their still in business, thanks brother wonderful video. My name is Issy

Lovely!

Cracking motor

Hi I work for Kelvin diesels, how is the engine doing?

It's just as well this bloke has long arms...

Hi It would have been nice to have seen the size of vessel this engine was driving

Wow , a giant Leyland 510 only a lot more reliable.

What engine you running? Do you get out much with her?

Got to love how a 6/354 Perkins starts, even very worn out they start exceptionally well.

Purring so nice. 👍

Not much of a presentation

Прикольно, конечно, а если бы ещё что-нибудь рассказывал, было б ещё лучше

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Sow many fine companies that took great pride in their products are gone and have replaced by Communist China garbage.

Nice video presentation 👏👏👏👏👍👍

Nice video

New friend, watching from Manila, Philippines👍👍🇵🇭

My friend you need to change your glasses that's an 8 LXB !!!!!!!!!

Somebody cannot count, it's 8LXB not 6.

That engine is purring, beautiful sound to hear. Nothing like the sound of an older engine that has been cared for and still sounds as perfect as when it was new.

615m?

Why the decompression levers at shutdown ?

Looks like an 8LXB

I used to repair these engines R6 and RS6 nice engines to work on had a visit to the Kelvin Factory in Glasgow knew the service engineers very well worked along side them

Yes that's Kelvin sound, how many HP is this six cylinder? I have workt nearly two years on a tankbarge with a 8 cylinder T8 Kelvin with turbo charge, full speed 1000 rpm and 320 HP, nice quiet sound and low dieseloil consumption

Raffff---raffff---raffff. Typical DAF.

Beautiful engine and a very reassuring beat. I've always favoured these and Gardner.
