Awe c'mon guys...
It isn't THAT smooth.
I swear I saw one of those PVC pipes hooked up to the cooling ports wiggle a little bit  ::)

I thought the 1986-1993 3.5L 6 cylinder was still mechanically injected.  Aluminum head and other issues meant it wasn't NEARLY the engine that the earlier 4 and 5 cylinders were.
My NA 240D is so slow here at 4,700ft elevation, it almost feels like it's going backwards.

Would you like to come to New Mexico to purchase one here?
Hawaii isn't the only place where people think these old cars are worth a small fortune......

I think my 1982 Mercedes 300SD will run on butter or chicken fat.....

It started this morning without issues on 90% WVO/10% RUG (petrol)........ it was 20 degrees F ( that is -6.6 C)

Granted, the back window doesn't work, the AC doesn't work, the cruise control crapped out a long time ago, the interior is cracking from age and heat......
..... but it ALWAYS starts and gets me where I need to go.

Fred,

Welcome aboard.

....."Do parts from Listeriod engines fit Lister engines? "

The term "Listeroid" typically refers to a copy of the Lister CS engines.  They are typically available in single cylinder versions of 6,8,10,12 HP, and twins of 12,16,20,24 hp.  There have been some others in there as well.

Your SW2M is a two cylinder Lister/Petter engine, and bears no real similarities to the CS engines.  In short, the Listeroid parts won't fit your engine.

...."Like weighing a calf, you pick it up, stand on the scale, set it down and weigh yourself.  difference is the object"

Hmmmm...... 400lb weight limit of scale -235lb flywheel = your weight of no more than 125lbs !!!!!

If you weigh 125 lbs, and can lift a 275 lb flywheel onto a scale, I don't want to meet you pissed off in a dark alley....

Is it also possible that the IP timing is off on the left cylinder (the smokey one).  It sounds like the timing is retarded on that side.  Do the twins use the same screw under the IP to adjust timing?

I was able to hand start the Witte yesterday at around 35 degrees.  My shoulder hurts, but with a propane torch shoved up it's intake, it caught by the 4th compression.

Is that pitting on the top of the piston just carbon build up, or is it in the cast iron itself?  I'd scrape it/clean it off for a closer look myself.
