The Most NOTORIOUS Tank Engine Ever Built. Chieftain L60 Resurrection

Steve and Dave take on the big one: resurrecting our Chieftain main battle tank after years of sitting silent. And this time, you see EVERYTHING. The full diagnosis and revival process from decks off to start attempt: electrical system diagnosis, engine and clutch, fuel system, oil system, air filter, fuel bleed, oil bleed, and finally the moment of truth. The Chieftain was Britain's Cold War heavyweight, carrying the most powerful gun and heaviest armour of any NATO tank when it entered service. But it was also famous for its Leyland L60 multifuel engine, an opposed-piston two-stroke that gave British crews decades of headaches. Ours has been dormant for years. Can the boys bring it back? With thanks to Chieftain expert Mr Hewes for his guidance on this beast. Even Kurt manages to be useful this time. Genuinely. There's a chapter to prove it.
