Nice toy!
Home of the Listeroid - Since 2005
News:
For those who don't know, regular poster Bob (aka Ajaffa) and his wife recently lost his house and many of their possessions (but apparently not his engines!) to a bush fire. Please see this post for details of an appeal to help him rebuild. Thanks, everyone from LEF.

Hi Hes
first of all: strip every part, clean thoroughly every part (some pics wil help when reassembly), mesure main parts (bore, piston, rings, journals, babits, bushes, etc).
After that - only - you will see IF you need some parts. Dont expect to have a Ferrari!
You seems to be hurried!
Be safe
VP
PS: tilt pics and resize pics, and tilt and cut.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: cracked piston - Some manual readings will help
« on: April 08, 2020, 02:33:29 PM »
Hi Veg
The bump will give you the compression ratio - how do you want it? hard or smouth? See the book range spec! (if hard: low range, else top range)
Fire time: What states the book FOR diesel? ah, you want to run it veg? So what will be the rate of self combustion of veg related to diesel? (veg takes more time? therefore spill more far from TDC)
Read again (maybe twice) your other thread, here: https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=8993.msg104583#msg104583
Any doubt... strip it all down and rebuild it again.
But, stay safe... and inside.

Hi Veg
One thing for sure, this piston broke, and the next will brake also IF the other issus still not resolved. Take a close look at firing time.
Have you seen how I had done with my 12/2?

Hi Veg
Start spray ignites very earlier, and so the piston is farway from TDC, therfore it will break the least strong piece, in this case alu piston.
Chrome bores CANT have chrome rings, its hard metal work in hard metal. Can you see result of this friction?
Chrome bores need soft rings...
Stay safe.

Petteroids / PETTER - PAZ1 - New project - angle grinder
« on: April 07, 2020, 09:30:40 PM »
Hi Stef
3 ball bearing 7€. The nearby retailer had it in stock, so he pass bearings under the door and same did I with payment.
This angle grinder has been refurbish for several times, it has 15 years, and countless hours work. The inside gear case has the brass bushing with some worn.
Stay safe.

Hi Veg
this is a 8/1, wright?
Is the cylinder bore chrome? if so, it cant have a chrome ring because is to hard!
In my point of view this piston was hited by start spray. Its splited at middle line of wrist pine (small end).
Does it have more symptoms?
that knocking sound seems to be early injection point.
Keep giving news, and stay safe.

Hi Gentles
With all this idling life, and stores closed, geted a tip of pipe to make a support to stow start handle in the cart.
All cut and welded, angle grinder decide to blow a ball bearing at middle of job. It's all in a days's work!
Strip, clean... buy new set of bearings (after all it's stripped) and finish the job.
Cheers, and stay safe.

Hi Veggie
Its only to show off. Mines where polished with wire brush, after with scotchbrite, and to finish a coat of polyurethane varnish.
The rim face has the serial number engraved.
If an engine is on duty its better a good coat of paint to prevent rust.
