Original Lister Cs Engines / Lister "threads"
« on: November 02, 2010, 01:07:16 AM »
Hi Everyone, DrDeath finally got me access to the forum and so here I am- A very NEW member. Am very happy to be here, and am working thru DD and a gentleman in the UK for some engines (Hopefully)
Was reading a document on identifying Listers of different types here http://www.stationary-engine.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11194, and came across this:
"All threads are Unified on the FR, a complete break from the BSF and BSW threads used on the CS and JP engines. (The 8/1 and 16/2 engines went on for some years as a major export product to Iran, and only stopped when the Shah was overthrown there)"
I am a former diesel mechanic here in the US, on ThermoKing Isuzu, Mercedes, and Yanmar engines with a dabling in Cat's, Cummins and Detroit's. I am used to SAE and Metric threads. Can anyone tell me what I am up against with this type of threading scheme? Figured I'd ask here first. Thanks to all,
Steve A. (SA245)
