Things I want to Buy / Lister LD rocker oil line
« on: December 28, 2022, 05:16:29 PM »
Looking for the ld rocker oil line. This is this bit going down from the Tee, including the  union and line hopefully as I can’t unfasten mine.

I've a question on the oil for these things, for next start up.

The manual specifies 4 pints (2.3 litres) of SAE10w. Looks a little difficult to get a hold of. Does it have to be monograde?

Or would I be okay using a multigrade, like 10W-40?

Looks like that might narrow it down to the LD1!

Cheers for the PDF, I figured I'd go a little deeper and begin to find more identifying marks.

I drained the oil, unfortunately this engine is a bit of a mess. Each bolt is rounded, inconsistent or loose.
All sealing gaskets are far gone and have sealant applied.
The valve/rocker cover has been cracked right open with something heavy and had body filler applied...I may source a replacement but it'll do for now.
The fuel tank is wrecked, it's totally rusted and full of sludge. I think it's split too. Fuel bowl isn't much better, it's heavily pitted but I've cleaned it out for now.
Looks like the fuel filter and tank are the same between the models so I've ordered those parts.

The cams themselves look in good condition, so that's something positive and it seems to have compression.

I did manage to find the cam serial, however this doesn't match any of those from the PDF which leaves me scratching my head a little.



The fuel pump serial could possibly match a LD1 from the PDF? It's a partial match, at least.


Not really sure what to do next. I guess I have to go further and take out the injector?
I'm assuming the oil that goes in these is 10w-40 from some of the reading I've been doing, correct me if I'm wrong.

Just a question, but how do I stop the engine when it's running? The injection switch?

Cheers for the responses, this is helping me out a bunch :)

I have been looking for a 1.5 inch handle, think I’ve ordered the right one from ebay. We will see if its correct when it arrives!

As for compression, it feels pretty good. The lever/switch at the top seems to toggle it. When compression is on, i cant even give it a full turn over which i think is a good sign. Turns smooth with it off. I think i may be able to use this to turn off the engine when it is running?

As for throttle… I’ve no idea where that is, there is one switch like toggle at the mid section (shown in the first pic) which seems to have two modes. Not sure what that does yet.

I will look into draining it, ill get some filters and stuff first when im a bit more confident with it being the correct model.

Engines / Engine Identification

Hello fellows,

I bought an engine that I was keen to work on from an estate sale.

Unfortunately, some parts appear to be missing which have prevented me making much progress on getting this thing running.

Looks like this was in the middle of a tear down, or at the very least a repaint or rebuild.

I've been having trouble identifying the engine as the identification has been removed. From what I can gather looking at images, i think this could be a Lister LR1 Diesel.

Would anyone be able to help me confirm which engine this is? And if so, where I could find some manual of operation. I'd love to get started testing it out and getting this back to life.

Attached below are the pictures of it, which could be of some use.
