Unidentified Old Motor ??? Engine Spotting

[Luke R]

Looks like an old Vanguard Triumph engine or something like that, similar to the grey fergy tractor engine but the starter motor is on the other side.

I,ll second that, looks vanguard to me.

Third that . Standard vanguard . Same as TEA 20 pretty sure both petrol and diesel used the same block . Not a high revver but tough as nails

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for the replies and for the identification of the motor.

It looks like I have a new toy to play with - well once I go and retrieve it and learn how to get it running again

Kind Regards
Lionel

When I was a pup our family doctor had one of the old sloped back Guardsvans and my father did the maintenance for him for years.
Eventually it was towed to our place because there was obviously something wrong and dad dropped the sump to take a look. Laying in the sump were some serious sized chunks of metal. I think a piston had broken up.
I have an idea they were a wet sleeve engine.

currently an engine rebuild kit including crankshaft for that motor is around $800. oo includes a set of pistons and sleeves, fits from TEA 20 to TR 4a.
