Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Access Again

I personally dont think that the Escrow Agent will be taking off with the cash- They have to be licensed and bonded (read that as insured) against losses like you are referring to. As long as the agent/agency is researched and has been in business for a good long time, I believe he would be just fine. As was intoned earlier, its not really worth losing your business or being branded as a thief over this level of assets. If it did happen it would take time to recover assets thru the insurance, but it could be done.

Thank-you Everyone for the excellent info on this "threads" question. Lots of information for me to dig through, follow up on, and try and decipher!

SEA? No, that's the airport code for Seattle. SAE! Oh yeah that's what we call American.
Maybe the Crescent adjustable spanner isn't such a bad invention after all. Best Wishes on your adventures.

Thanks for the response, don't get my back up! I was hatched in the UK, Beaconsfield, Bucks, Lived in Chester 'til I was 10, then forcibly transplanted on my birthday. Lots of transplants here 'bouts! LOL. Spanners my butt!
I guess my real question is are there taps available here in the States with these threads (Unified, BSF, and BSW threads) for chasing threads or rethreading casting holes, etc., in the interest of keeping the engine as original as possible and not making an engine of "whatever fits in the hole at the time and is handy."

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)
