Hi Folks,
This is the 3rd major scatter of my Metro clone 6/1 after 10 years of running power to my cabin (no grid power here - ever). First was the water pump shaft broke inside of the pump. All looks well until an engine seize. 2nd was oil splash spoon broke off. All looked well until engine seize. This time timing gear scattered. Credit is due the engine as it has seen about six years of service.
I have the parts to rebuild and will, but want to change to an original Lister CS 6/1 for the balance, quality, and dependability. Most everyone that is really into these engines does not have "an" engine. You have an engine, a back-up engine and a couple of back-ups for the backup... So, its time to give it up! You have 5 or 6 engines, you can sell one and still have a crowd, and you have another project you need to pay for. So please shine a torch in the back corner of you shop and pick out a good Lister 6/1 CS to sell.
