I learned a bit of information from my Amish Lister dealer friend

I suspect east coast is too far from me, but what's the dealers name/ph/web ?

Mike,

He is Amish.  No phone, no website.  Only mail. 

We're in central Illinois, on the right side of the Mississippi!

Peter,

Thanks for that.  I always appreciate the benefit you provide the group from your experience with these engines.

We have been fortunate in gathering a lot of factory material around us that has been useful information to give out.

We had hoped to get hold of the Lister factory microfilm library and get a set of copies made, but they have resisted our requests for some years.

There were 2 copies/sets, I understand that they are now down to one only, and nobody knows where the other one has gone to....

Understandable in part, although we would have been happy to sign a full non-commercial use agreement with them.

Dale...I think I understand your misunderstanding and have undertaken to undo the misunderstanding as I understand it.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

"Diamond honing" takes much less horsepower and  leaves an oil 'groove' that's Vee shaped about 85deg.  Silica and Oxide hones leave a radius cut  with 'plowed up' edges from the increased pressure in cutting and more smearing of material.  Could be marketing or it could be engineering that came up with 'diamond honing'.

"Titanium" is the new buzz word. Somebody even named a 'color' that!

Now I'm dealing with a Lister 16-2.  As far as I can tell it is of a later vintage, but I do not have the s/n yet.  How do I determine the cylinder type?  Is it Listerd or iron.  The cylinder studs are exposed, alloy pistons, and there is no c/o valve.

I want to be sure that I am getting the right rings.

Chrome has a bluey tinge to it when you look down the bore against the light, cast iron is normally just dull-ish.

You can also sometimes see where the chroming finished at the end of the bore, usually it starts to flake after a few years.

LISTARD (Not Listar D, Stan) was the trade name, but there were others like CHROMARD which was another cylinder chroming process, and there were other still that I cannot put a name to. Hepolite had their own process for example.

My mistake Peter....I still think Listard sounds like something you'd put on a baloney sandwich.  ;D

Chromard was already in use, and Lister had a track record of naming products, like Listroil, that they made or sold under their own brand name.

FYI...I have seen Indian made original style cylinders with chrome liining.  They were for sale by a guy (Mark I believe) in Great Britain and also on Ebay U.K.  That would be a nice part to keep on hand. We have a bore welder at work, but I imagine a guy would have to remove all the chrome before welding it up to be re-bored.  I wonder what the best wire would be to use?
