Listeroid Engines / Re: Where can I get a head gasket for a 6-1 Metro Engine?
« on: January 03, 2025, 02:40:14 AM »
The composit gaskets as sold by GTG are indeed very nice and are the very best to use on original CS engines or Listeroids without a wet sleeve. They will also work on wet sleeve engines that have had the sleeve stand out corrected. If not corrected the India copper sandwich gasket works better.

Hi, somehow I missed this post earlier. Yes the bore size matters as does if it is 5 stud or 7 and wet sleeve or not. I have head gaskets in all the different types in stock and most every other part also. If interested send me a PM,

Listeroid Engines / Re: Listerpetter 2 cylinder engine not starting
« on: December 10, 2024, 12:03:52 PM »
It is not likely that the engine wore itself out sitting over night. It is possible that carbon has lossened and sticking on the seats causing low compression. It is also possible you have a fuel problem. Are you getting white smoke while cranking? If not you have a fuel problem which goes along with it not firing on easy start.

Listeroid Engines / Re: 12/1 Lovson listeroid valve guides difference
« on: December 10, 2024, 11:58:16 AM »
There are at least 6 variations in India valve guides. The shortest ones are for the direct injection engines. Then there are middle length guides of several lengths then the long ones that are a comparable to what Lister used. Do not use guides that are shorter than the bore in the head, other than that I have used the various lengths with no issues. No matter which guides you use plug the holes in the side which is a stupid India modification that drains the mine wells in a out 5 minutes. Another big issue is clearances. India seems to use 7/16" (.437) and 11mm (.433) as interchangeable. Most new guides are 7/16 about half the valves are 11mm creating much slop

General Discussion / Back from the grave,,

Well, not exactly. Shop work and life in general has been keeping me waaay too busy. This Bamford is stuck together like it was welded. Took 2 days to get the head off the studs. Water had creeped up the studs from a bad head hasket. Piston stuck, everything else stuck. This is Bamford #6 this year. 2- 5HP, 2-7HP and a 10 completed and shipped. Manage to work in 10/2 ,a 16/2, and 2 VAs this year also. This is the very first year that I have worked on zero Listeroids but I have shipped a good many parts for owner repairs.

My spec came from one of the India assemblers. Real world difference in performance between .008 and .012 is immeasurable.

Listeroid Engines / Re: Lovson 12/1 manual?
« on: November 18, 2024, 03:26:00 AM »
The supplied manuals are almost devoid of pertinent information and a lot of times wrong for the engine they came with. Lovson used to be one of the better suppliers a d would answer questions promptly. If they are still in buisiness you may be able to get them to send you a PDF just don't expect to get a comprehensive piece of literature.

Many variations of 12/1. Is it direct injection or indirect? If indirect does it have a change over valve or not?

There are several variations of the barrel part of the element. If yours has two holes in the side then the slotted one goes toward the keeper screw. Also the keeper screw is supposed to have a copper washer under it. That screw does not retain the barrel, it's function is to keep the barrel from turning on the casting.

I'm not up enough on those to give accurate information but if you contact DEV Precision Engineers in India I'm sure He can source and supply what you need.
