Hello, I am the proud owner of a new Listeroid sitting in the middle of my garage floor. Its a 6/1 Powerline by Anand I'm hoping to generate power and have fun with. I'm waiting for a price on an ST gen head. Hard to believe I just learned of these engines 6 or 7 weeks ago on YouTube. I was searching alternative fuels and stumbled upon a video of a man I believe in England who was showing off this interesting engine/generator he was running on WVO in a shed behind his house, think he had a laptop graphing its heat output or something. I googled the name of the engine and the rest is history. He could be a member of this forum, if he is, my wife thanks him
. I have since watched many videos and read many posts on these engines. Ive got a bunch of newbish questions and hopefully some good answers, ideas and opinions. Ive been a mechanic for over twenty years.
Newbie Question #1: The inside of the crankcase is very clean, I wiped around it with a rag.(its already been "Tested" by Powerline) Someone did a pretty good job with a die grinder making the inside smooth but it isn't painted or sealed and has almost no rust. Is it necessary to paint or seal the inside of the case?
