Original Lister Cs Engines / Modes of failure of CS 6/1s and 12/2s

It might be interesting to know or hear of the normal mode of failure for the Lister CSs, or even the less common failure.
They were well known for longevity but do you know of any that failed in service? I mean fairly catastrophically, not just air in the injector line.
OK, OK, I know the norm was 'just plain wore out' or as Guy Fawkes (in another thread) put it, 'wilful neglect'.
We know the 'oids fail on numerous counts, any excuse for a rebuild, but what was the old engines' achilles heel? Did it have one?
