Hello, everyone. New member here. I'm in Williams Lake, B.C. Canada. I've just come into possession of an SR2 driven 7kW generator, badly damaged by water. It was left out in the weather for a couple of years. The damage is to the top end as the cylinders partly filled with water. I've dismantled it, dropped the cylinders off at a local machine shop and am waiting to hear just how much we'll need to bore oversize. I have two questions: first, what do you all think of the parts out there? DEV in India carries bearings, cylinders, pistons, rings etc., Sleeman and Hawkin in England carries most everything, Diesel Electric Services in Alaska carries most everything.....is any of it authentic Lister or is it all aftermarket? And aftermarket made in where? Anything wrong with the India-made parts? What should I stay far away from?
Second question: does anyone know where I can find an all-incusive service manual? I need to be able to set up my injector pumps, injectors, piston-head clearances, measure bearing clearances....I don't even know what the acceptable clearances are.
Thanks very much for your help, all! Paul
