Listeroid Engines / Re: Where can I get a head gasket for a 6-1 Metro Engine?
« on: October 24, 2024, 01:12:16 AM »
Almost forgot, there is also a new composite style gasket. I have a couple on the shelf but have yet to need one. I have heard they work well. Already in the US too.

That 120mm bore gasket is for the 10/1 and up listeroids. Not sure why they have it listed for an 8/1.

This should be the correct bore although it is a 7 stud version: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264527269100

I have never bought from DEV in India but I have dealt with Stationary Engine Parts in the UK.

They have the correct gasket for a 5 stud but shipping is pretty steep. https://www.stationaryengineparts.com/Listeroid-6-1-and-8-1-Copper-Head-Gasket-For-5-Stud-Heads.html

You may want to message DEV through ebay to see if he has a 5 stud version. I hear he is a pretty responsive seller.

You may also want to try Jim up in Canada. He may have them as well. http://www.justliveoffgrid.com/SpareParts.html

The 5/1, 6/1, 8/1, and twins all use the same head gasket as long as the listeroid is the same bore and head design as the original CS. Some listeroids are 5 stud heads and some are 7 stud like the original CS. The only other difference could be some listeroids, usually 10hp and up can have a modified direct injection head. I think that is unlikely on a 6/1 Metro. Just need to pull the valve cover and count the head studs. A 5 stud will have the 4 large ones in the corners plus the rocker stud. A 7 stud will have those plus one on each side.

Definitely looks like a well for a freeze plug.

Also, I think many gaskets from an LD series will interchange. They are the same engine family with the cylinder bore being the primary difference. The fuel door gaskets may be the same as the LR and SR series as well as those are updated versions of the LD/SL family. Something to look into anyway.

The valve cover gaskets are available on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153244362081

I have bought from that ebay seller before and had no issues. You may try searching in their store with the other part numbers you need. I could not find a whole gasket kit.

Looks like they may have sent you CS valve guides by mistake.

I have dealt with SEP many times and they have always been great. On the couple of occasions there was an issue they quickly made everything right.

Listeroid Engines / Re: Hot Water Circulator Max Temp Rating.

I am just north of you in Virginia. No one around here knows what they are either. I only know about them as I came across this board years ago when looking for a good simple back up power source. I imported a few originals from The UK and started tinkering with them.

You are quite welcome. I am a tradesman as well, HVAC/Refrigeration, been one heck of a busy summer here too.

If you mean "visually" constantly monitoring, a drilled and tapped hole for a thermometer well would be the most accurite but I don't think there is a anywhere on a CS cylinder or head thick enough to get a good thread. The easiest solution if you have pipe stubs at the inlet and outlet of the engine would be something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/Dtacke-Thermometer-Spring-Temperature-Thermo/dp/B07XJM8XM8

They just strap on with various length springs and should be relatively accurite. Pretty cheap too.

I'm sure with a little digging around you should be able to find one with a proper Fahrenheit scale.

The problem with IR thermometers is that they work on a priciple called emissivity. Surface color, texture, and reflectivity can skew the readings significantly.

You would be better off to get a contact type thermometer as the readings would be more reliable. It is strange that you have a hot spot on the cylinder head as your cooling water numbers look pretty good assuming they are taken with the engine under load.

A picture of your setup would also help give an idea what you have going on.

I have seen them come up very rarely on ebay and they tend to go for good money.

Welcome! What part of the world are you in?

That filter may be original. I have seen that filter on quite a few CS engines. I believe it was an option from lister. I have never seen any replacement parts for them though. I would inagine that you could clean the remainder of the metal mesh off of the filter base and use the base and outer shell with a modern pleated element. Should be able to measure the inside diameter of the base and the length from the base to the top of the support bracket for the outer shell and find a filter element that will fit.

It looks like a lot of hydraulic fittings are bspp as well so that may be another place to dig around.
