Listeroid Engines / Re: lifters not rotating 24/2

Just be sure to hold onto the lifter from inside the casing when you pull the guides out, else the inlet valve will end up in the sump

flywheels are wrongly mounted due to me not taking them off yet 
the easystart is nomore, turn out it was a buggered injector casuing the problems, swapped it out for a good unit and it's been fine since.
Any dodgy soundtracks are due to windows movie maker playing up, original recording was 18meg and i don't think my bandwidth bill would like that!

Got everything bleed up, cranked for a bit, gave it a "squirt" of easy
start (which wifey kindly picked up while taking the youngest out in
the car to get her to sleep) and it fired! Twice then stopped, hm just
runing on the easystart then.
Stripped and rebuilt the pump again, now i get a good squirt of fuel
out of the fuel line instead of a few drops, so i guess i'd fubar'd
the pump timing.
Cranked the engine again (more easystart) and this time it actually
kicked in! Clouds of black crap everywhere!
It responded to rack
changes so it was definately runing on diesel, yay! I shut it off &
tried taking the grin off my face.
Tried restarting it and it didn't want to play. I pulled the injector
and found a sitting puddle of diesel in the head, it's pissing out of
the weep valve (guessing the weep valve is the excess fuel leak off?
or is it an injector bleed valve that i could shut?) Pretty sure i've
got a blocked injector nozzle, with the nozzle off the body pumps fuel
quite happily, but once the injector tip is on it starts to pump out
of the weep valve.
Also think i've got a very slight leak from the c-o-v, not sure yet i
need to keep it running to be sure.
Damn sight happier than i was yesterday though

Looking good, did you have to fill the microbore with sand/salt before bending?

Original Lister Cs Engines / What's the thread on the leak off valve?
« on: April 20, 2006, 08:40:14 PM »
Only just noticed my injector unit hasn't got a leak off valve so the
excess diesel is going to piddle out inside the head casing.
Hopefully be easy enough to get some sort of valve down here, just
need to know the thread.
cheers

Any ideas?

Just a quicky on this one, i finally got it out of the van today (needed to borrow a hoist).
It spins without any grind, grumble or creak, so hopefully the bearings aren't to bad, the supposedly dead injector pump just needed a strip down and clean out (it's been stood for a while and the surfaces had gummed up). Injector feed pipe needs replacing but that's to be expected of such thin pipework i suppose.
Just need to order up a starting handle, gasket set and new rings and i should be able to see how it runs.
Think the valves might need grinding though ...

Must say another big thankyou to the guy who ebayed it, his picture was crap compared to seeing it "in the flesh"
