Iisteroid running OK ?
« on: April 20, 2014, 07:52:00 PM »
Not much action on the forum as of late. I take that to mean everyone's engines must
be running to perfection !!

Yep, the listeroid and Changchi are running great:)  Just got done overhaulin the top end of the Toyota Turbo engine in my truck though.  It lost a headgasket last month...

Yep, my 6/1 Listeroid is still compressing air for my shop and generating AC for my well pump and washing machine.  Another engine hour meter (vibration type) died at about 3 years. Found a similar unit for just $10 on ebay, China direct. Otherwise, zero problems since my last thermostat change out.  It's been a reliable, very quiet, workhorse.

Mine's not running much with the drought in california we're getting a lot of nice warm sunny weather. It doesn't look like we'll only burn 75% of our wood pile this year too.

With the sun now, mine is taking a break. Maybe she's due for some fresh clean oil.

I run mine about once a month. Seems exactly the same, every time I run it. Not much to report.
