Next! 16/2 Lister
38ac:
The 10HP Bamfords is running and ready to ship. On to the next one in line. Bought this 16/2 Lister as "rebuilt" but whoever worked in it sure didnt make my standards. Its coming all the way down and built up correctly. This engine will be for sale qhen done. PM if interested.

Hi Casey, well done on getting the Bamford finished.
When you say the 16/2 has had work done to a poor standard could you please document and post what horrors you find. I note that the crankshaft looks too shiny for an engine of it`s age, has it been replaced? When I fitted a new Indian crank to my 6/1 I found that the end float was over spec even without any gaskets! I had to make shims to go between the main bushings and the housings.

Bob, it got worse as I took it down!
Cylinders were bored to fit dry sleeves. After installation They bored the sleeves to size leaving no room for honing and slapped it together with the rough bores. the #2 side is .005 too large in the rough bore. The #1 side is to finished bore size at the top and .010" larger at the bottom. Zoom in to see how rough the bores are

New valves slapped in without grinding the seats or lapping them

#2 side rod and bearing, zoom in to see bearing metal filings everywhere.
