in house servicing
« on: August 22, 2017, 07:56:27 PM »
My CS which I believe to be a december 1946 model (CS56022) has a brass plate riveted to the rear of the cylinder which states .....the cylinder is 10 thou oversize.... so I assume that at some point the cylinder was removed and sent to lister who did the work and returned it with a new oversize piston, from what I know the engine was probably worked hard for the first twenty years of its life and I know personally that it has not been punished during the last thirty years, anyway has anyone else got a CS that has been returned to lister workshops for servicing/repair that was returned to the owner with a workshop brass plate riveted to the unit

I have seen the same brass plates affixed to identify machine work done on the bores... no particular identification of who did the work though.

Mine has the same plate. Bored .010" over and re-chromed. I too assume it was done by Lister. The oversized piston is a Wellworthy brand with the Lister part # on the inside.
