Mike,

I can run my roid for half an hour and the crank case doesn't get very warm. (Indoors)
Just luke warm to the touch.  Its too far away from the heat source and the  crank case has a lot of mass to warm up.
There is very little heat produced in the case.
A winter grade oil is all you can do if you are concerned about the low temps.

WOW is right !

That is an amazing setup.

Well done ! to the owner.

I mounted my base on rubber isolators which, in turn are bolted to the garage floor.
The engine runs smooth and there is no vibration in the concrete floor.

Mike,

If the bearings accidentally arrive with a snap ring, just remove the ring a throw it away.
The remaining snap ring groove on the outer race of the bearing will have no effect.
Other than that, the bearings will be identical.

***** SOLD *****


Hi All,

I am selling my GTC (made by Powerline I believe) 6/1 Listeroid.
The engine was tested for 3 hours after inspection, then drained of oil and coolant and placed in storage.
This brand is very good quality as far as Listeroids go.
Internals are spotless. Con rod bearings were changed as a precaution during the initial inspection.
Runs excellent and is ready to go !

Features:
- Changeover Valve (And optional Plug installed)
- Glow plug for changeover valve port
- Integeral oil pump for Main Bearings
- Aftermarket fuel filter
- Counter weighted crankshaft

Can ship anywhere in Canada or can be picked up by US residents.

$1850.00 Canadian

(shipping extra)

cheers,
Veggie

As far as I know.... the "Field Marshall" brand is a basic Listeroid the same as most others.

You should be able to get all the parts you need here...
