Looking for Listeroid 6/1 breakdown and rebuild manual

(1/2) > >>

Hi ALL,

I used to have a PDF on breaking down a Listeroid 6/1. Following the instructions, I found about a cup of sand in the water jacket and maybe a teaspoon in the oil pan.  However, my laptop crashed and I lost the pdf.  I was wondering if someone could send another copy, or a link to me?

Thanks in advance.
Matt

I sent an email off to George for a CD.  Hopefully he responds.

I'm not sure how much George is doing these days, his site was inactive for a long time but I see he has recently posted a few things on it.
What exactly are you looking for? He never had to my knowledge,  a step by step, bolt by bolt tear down and rebuild instructions. After running approximately 40 of them through my shop over the years I can tell you without reservation a few things. There is no such thing as one that is put together correctly. No such thing as one free of sand and slag and you cannot tell much via a peak through the inspection door and a swipe of the sump bottom with a rag. There is sand and slag you cannot see unless you know exactly where to look and absolutely cannot remove unless the engine is taken all the way down to a bare crankcase  the order of which is well within the skill set of anyone who should be doing it and without any manual to lead him through it. There are hiwever a few important clearances and procedures that I can provide should you choose to go about correcting your engine but I'm going to save my two typing fingers until you decide to go that route. You also have the option of just running it and taking your chances bit it's a fools bet that it will be OK.

38ac:
uh, deleted duplicate post

mknobloch:
Thank you 38ac. 

I mainly remember the pdf showing the list of places to check for sand, and other "Gotchas" to look out for. 
I haven't heard from George, so he may have retired his keyboard.  I will post questions as I run into them.
