AdeV,

Indeed!

But there some pics (above) that the thumbnail now is horizontal because I edited the image and rotated it -90º, and so when you click it the resize will show it as I intended to be seen.

I mean I cheated the resize tool in order the pic be shown "right".

See below pic showed with the hint on original, and after in the one edited.

Cheers

Gentles, AdeV

Many thanks for your replays.

When I say autorotate it can be anything that the software used manipulates an image to change original post.

AdeV, I underline I got the most respect to you and the outstanding work you do supporting this forum - Peter & Rita Forbes just disappear because there was no redundancy.

You can see my all images got 800px max wide, in order to to avoid any horizontal scrolling.

Yes, please disable the resize, because when image "rotates" the detail of image will be harder to get after reading the sentence that pin points it.

Bronco, my images are all edited before upload - there is none upload raw, neither the attachments allow such size.

Just my 5 cents for the improvement.

Cheers

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Cam is out

Cam shaft is out, but stupidity stoke again.

Forgot the gear wheel have taper pin AND woodruff key. So hammer drove woodruff key agaist cam bushing.

2 pics to remember.

Meanwhile exhaust is clean and painted, fuel tank dents are straightened, and rings out of piston.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. More stripping
« on: March 04, 2025, 11:15:37 PM »
Gentles,

Started do note measures about wearing to see how bad thing can go.

Already told outer #1 bushing  - that I suspect it spun inside crankcase end cover. See dimensions at pics 1 and 2.

Pic 3 and 4 the #2 outer bushing and crank journal.

And 5 and 6 the the #1 bushing ID and crank journal.

More....

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Strip crankcase
« on: February 18, 2025, 11:26:34 PM »
Gentles,

Flys are down, and start to open crankcase.

Main bushes are babbit metal. At first glance they are in good shape, maybe some wear. Crank journals show the hard life of thousands of hours.

Another odd is the crankcase end cover  cast is dated from 23/NOV/1951.

The main bearing of the end cover can be pulled out too easy.

Manage to push out the cam shaft gear wheel taper pin. Got to work around to find the way of taper, because it has been drived in and grinded to face.

Water manifolds got a good warm to loose fittings.

A few pics to the show.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Fuel filter
« on: February 15, 2025, 08:37:08 PM »
Gentles,

Fuel filter is done. Said before fuel filter will be done with spares I got kicking around (https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=9980.msg112931#msg112931).

Only need a reducing socket to match wick nipple to filter. Toke visit to my neighbour machinist to made it. He was with temper but made it as I needed (And the SOB pelled 10€ from my wallet!).

A few pics to the enthusiasts.

Cheers

PS: nipple was given by 12/2 Lister.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. #2 fly off
« on: February 13, 2025, 07:29:41 PM »
Gentles,

#1 fly came off before diner.

Same MO: heat, snake oil, wedge under tension, and the trusty wood log banging the rim of the fly.

This time got to vise-grip the wedge in low corner of the key. This one is kinda fragile.

First sign of success, the wedge fell down with the n-th bang of the log. After that repeat all process till hammer doesnt bell on the wedge.

Another step well done.

A few pics to the show.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Flys off
« on: February 12, 2025, 11:29:08 PM »
Gentles,

Manage to take off #2 fly.

Propane torch to heat, snake oil on keyway (key is mild steel, in hard cast iron), put wedge on tension, and bang the pine log by the fly rim, aka ring the bell, to vibrate metals.

Payed the patience.

Fly #1 is under tension, after heat. Hope the best...

More a few pics.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Bosch Lab
« on: February 12, 2025, 10:59:50 PM »
Gentles,

IP and injector are at Bosch Lab to put on spec. Make new visit to chat with my friend Mr. Faria (40+ years in company. Start at 13).

Lab at end of day - and only Mr. Faria there to plan next day tasks - and you can see the pic of lab. Pristine... it's the last task daily performed by their coworkers.

Another surprise... pedestal of CD was cast at 29SET1950. What a hell???

Nevertheless, found a nail in the tappet shoulder... What a hell, how did it get there???

3 pics to help context.

Cheers

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. More bits
« on: February 09, 2025, 07:03:47 PM »
Gentles,

Sorting bits, pulling pulley out.

I noticed that IP rocker shaft is worn, rocker roller pin also.

This engine got to have thousands of houres working. Take a look at the IP rocker and see the callus of the rocker spring.

A few pics to the show.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Updating bits..

Gentles,

Im struggling with the addiction, but so far the asylum don't got me at radar.

Oil pressure gauge is rehabilitated; old paint, rust, sludge, gunk and other fancy stuff is clean. Got a brush of acetone (to release old paint), scratch corners, smoothing bolts, screws and nuts; pass tap to correct threads (almost all BSF).

Tried to pull half of COV, but no joy... stuck with coal. Got to drill broken brass 1/8 screws of oil gauge pad.

Must buy 1/8 40G tap, 3/8 BSF die. Order 1/8 brass screws and a few metric 2,5(think it will be AU).

Some iron already got one hand of primer.

Fuel filter will be done with spares I got kicking around.

A few pics to showoff.

Cheers

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Bits cleaning.
« on: January 29, 2025, 07:27:47 PM »
Gentles,

A basket full of bits came down to town.

Almost clean. IP clean, Injector too and both taken to Bosch laboratory to put to spec and new copper joints.

And... another surprise. Cylinder head cover cast date shows 20 july 1951! Maybe another bit from other engine.

2 pics to showoff (forgot to take more)

Cheers
