strangely enough it seemed to work just fine with 360 in the hot water line the short time i had it running. and as for stuff to trip over there has been plenty, so bad it was hard to find a place to step. total chaos!! but it is a lot of fun the only problem is you get possessed and it's all you want to do.lol
i am now in search of filter assembly for wvo and wmo and a lot of other stuff. I am impressed with how talented some of you guys are and how much work has gone into some of these systems. i hope when im done mine can be half as nice!

thanks for your post. so rar i have welded up a frame to set my lister and mount a 5hp 3ph induction motor to generate power. i also have a place for a water tank for cooling. the water tank is made out of a propane tank about 5" tall. i also welded 2 five gal propane to the larger tank one on each side to pre heat wvo and wmo.
i still have a lot to do ie, fuel line and filters,exhaust and countless other things. I just found some much better assembly instruction for the lister so i am going to pull it back apart to check piston clearence with the soft lead and mark top dead center on the wheel . i think my timing should be ok .i think it was set before i got it sence
they ran it before i got it.i will try to post some pics. hopefuly i can figure it out

Hi to all just wanted to introduce my self. my name is lee and i live in the ozarks. I just purchased a 8/1 listeroid from gary at diesel electric. (he has been great help and i hope to buy from him again) I was wondering if their are any other lister owners in my area? this is my first lister and i have a feeling it won't be my last,but please dont tell my wife she wont forgive me for buying this one till i can save her money on electric bills. she says im pretty deep in the hole so i have a lot of saving to do.lol
