Engines / Re: SL4 SL rack

IMHO, it sounds compromised.  Seeing as you have the engine apart, I would try replace it at this stage.  It would be a mission if it breaks off during assembly, as that would mean stripping again, and you would still have to remove the broken stud.

Lister Based Generators / Re: TR2 oil dipstick
« on: December 01, 2024, 06:47:50 AM »
Well, I'm not going to argue because I don't know.  My motor bike takes almost 4Lt and this volume seems rather low for a thumping twin diesel.  Maybe it is a misprint in your manual.  You'll have to wait until the experts reply

Not sure about the TR2, but my SR2 manual gives sump capacity as 5.4 Lt

Ahh, you're back. Good to hear all is well and it was just life that has kept you away.  Have you been harvesting olives again?  Looking forward to your write ups

General Discussion / Where is VP?

I have noticed that VP has not been on the forum for some time now.  I sincerely hope that he is just on holiday and not having health issues again.  Maybe Bob has some news?

Engines / Re: Push rod seals

Good on you for a speedy response.  The learned members will soon comment.  In the meantime, try get a few pics of the serial plate as this will help determine model and year

The first thing you need to do is post as many pictures as you can of the engine, including serial plates and the leak.  That way the experts on this forum (I am not one of them) can determine the best way forward relevant to your particular model.

Everything else / Re: Date Of Manufacture

I suggest you post some pictures of the setup.  I'm assuming the serial plate mentioned is on the pump, and not the engine that drives it.  Is there an engine too?  There were thousands of Lister based pumps and generators in SA in the old days, at police stations, forestry stations, government buildings and of course, farms

Generators / Re: New member here. Trying to get info on this geny
« on: June 24, 2024, 10:37:01 PM »
Model is a SR1 single cylinder air cooled.   Couldn't tell you the year.  Do a search for that model, you'll find a manual somewhere

That looks stunning VP.  You deserve to show it off.  Well worth all the effort and expense.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Re: Bamford in a box

I think we call them DOwdy washers but in the past I've simply annealed the copper washer and it sealed again.

Dowty washers, but I also just anneal the copper ones.  Have never been an issue.  Dowty's were really designed for hydraulic lines
