Original Lister Cs Engines / 1940 CS 5/1

Hi all,
As the title suggests I have acquired a rather large ( to me ) Cs engine. Bought in pieces with most of the engine in red primer but the mechanicals all need overhauling. No pictures as yet but ill get some later. The crank is in poor condition so I'm in the process of battling the gib keys to remove the flywheels and subsequently removing the crank. I've got most of the parts to put this engine together bar the odd bolt and the injector bracket. The spec plate reads "CS37976" ( the second last digit was an 8 but has a 7 stamped over it) and it is a spec "5/1/35", any history would be appreciated. The engine has evidence of being seized due to water ingress hence the crank is a little worse for wear. The injector pump and injector I got working as it was seized solid but I must have put the rack in the wrong way as it's failing to stop when the rack is in the closed position. I also am having a mini-battle with the oil pump oil seal, said seal is an original metal and leather that is very seized into place, any ideas?
I'll try to keep this thread updated.
