    Hey, anyone have any reports on the Gardner 8LW. Are they much bigger than the 5 LW?

    Bore and stroke of LW series is 4.25" by 6", 5LW capacity is 7 Litres, 8LW is 11.2 Litres.

    Heavy duty rating (1300 RPM) is 10HP per Litre, Light duty (1500RPM) a little over 11HP per L, and high-speed (1700 RPM) 12.7 HP per Litre......
