LISTER CE TWIN CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE on Ebay - UK

OK, this may not be as wonderful as a CS twin but it is nicely detailed.  I'd almost be tempted to find a boat for it to fit in, but  I'm on the other island in another ocean.

Not as wonderful as a CS twin ?????    Look at those compact, solid and purposeful lines, it also has a proper lube system.   ;D

No its not mine, :(  I do have a nice 1933 one with a solid brass COV cover though,  :D I also have custody of another.
The guy selling the one on ebay has made a real neat marine conversion.                                                                                                                                     When you see these old engines in narrowboats over here they are usually as clean as this one,  just imagine living in a 60` X 6` house with one of those in your spare room and stinking of diesel 24/7 ;D

This cannot be?  The home of fish n chips and a slow speed engine running on petrochemicals.  There should be a law.  Start and stop on biodiesel and chip oil the rest of journey.

So what are the hydraulic looking lines back near the tranny?

Those are oil lines to the oil to water heat exchanger.

  Well Casey, choosing to be a vegetarian yourself is one thing,  forcing a beautiful engine that has no choice in the matter,  to consume sticky goop, is another thing entirely.
 This practice should have been outlawed years ago along with bull baiting and the like.

Mr Listard may be wrong, the unit on the gearbox looks like an automatic chip oil shutdown detector unit to me.

Mark, Mark, MARK!

I lead you to the vegetable oil and you repudiate the most natural of things.  Some of us realize that petro-diesel is really WVO that has pooled underground and got really, really, really gooppy.  You should see it before they refine it.  Once you spill biodiesel on your hands and clean them with hand soap and warm water you too will be converted.

 You may, as I do, find it hard to believe that storing WVO on your property requires more permitting than does ptero-diesel. 

Moment of educational opportunity:

Does it have an automatic transmission?  (Laughing at simple questions is rude.)

Ah well each to his own,   
My beloved keeps about 1/2 a gallon of the stuff without a licence and uses it for cooking, I did try some in an air cooled lister once and must admit it gives  a  fragrant exhaust bouquet.

The gearbox I believe has forward and reverse clutch packs which are operated by hydraulic pressure, much like an auto  transmission without the torque converter, the oil cooler is for the gearbox oil.  :laugh:

That certainly is one well detailed engine.  Too bad it's overseas.

I'm really glad it's 12,000 miles away.  Absolutely an impulse stopper.
