There be a listeroid 12/2

I paid more than $100 for it.. This lady was left with a mess. And I was not going to be the one to take advantage of her. I gave her more than enough to surprise her well still getting a decent deal.. As far as a runner, no I could not bring it home and start it up. It needs the top end at minimum taken apart. With the open rocker cover and not much oil in the rocker areas it has some rust. After pulling one head it looks like it could be a runner pretty easily.

Thank you dieselgman. That means everything coming from you. Do you carry spares for this engine?
Are 6/1 parts compatible with the 12/2? Parts like valves and guides, piston rings , valve spring retainers and springs, and most importantly a starter HANDLE. They actually could not find it.. Thanks.

Hi, we still have substantial parts stocks for these... the majority of the 6/1 parts will service a twin 12/2. We have not dealt directly with the Field Marshall brand, but yours most likely will conform to the Lister designs. No more twin engines remain in our USA stocks, but we do have quite a few singles available here. dieselgman gsj@gci.net

Is the little broken piece in the unhappy smilie face going to cause issues running besides loss of some compression?

another pic cleaned up a bit

I don`t think that little chip will cause any problems, provided the piece that broke off has not caused damage to the piston or cylinder bore. The damage may have happened before assembly.
Looks like there are no steel valve seats on this head. If I remember rightly the valves can be lapped until the head of the valves are around 40 thou below the surface of the head. After that steel valve seats need to be fitted. I`m sure 38ac will know the exact limits.
