Just a quick Mail to say Hi to you guys! Anyone had 1st hand experience at fitting a cylinder head gasket to a CS 3/1 engine? I am having major problems...
Andy, I had no problems fitting a new gasket to my 5/1. I just cleaned up the mating surfaces to get the worst of the crud off, put the two together and...
... Cracked head? Ken, didn't you have a crack between a combustion chamber and the water jacket? Paul Compton www.sciroccoev.co.uk www.morini-mania.co.uk ...
Paul, Andy, Yes I did have a head that leaked into the water jacket on a 5/1 engine that Mark and I retrieved from Wells, Somerset. I couldn't get any...
Hi thanks but the head is not cracked, everything is fine, just getting the gasket to seal is a nightmare Kind regards Andy Mahoney 17 Harley Walk Bramley ...
Hi Ken and list, you can see where the breach is, it may be a damaged gasket, the one you got hold of for me Ken! Any more out there???? Kind regards Andy...
Hi Andy, Are you able to check the head and top of cylinder, they may need a small skim taken off to ensure each surface is true. Rare, but I have seen it...
I'm going to use the Lister S-O-M to power the outdoor lighting around the steading, plus the lights inside the outbuildings. The interior lights are: 6 T8 30...
As I'll need lights throughout the night plus I have a mains electric fence energiser, I'm thinking of using the Lister to supply power a 12v battery bank that...
Dennis, You need to work out how much energy you want to draw via the inverter, sothis will allow you to size your battery bank. Lead acid batteries generally...

Lists and Friends, It is not often that I feel compelled to contact the whole of my net community, but I feel that we should all be more aware of the tragic...
Guys, Paul and I took a trip to Cambridge today to pick up a 1948 Startomatic in reasonable condition. The photos can be found in the photos section. Enjoy. ...
A quick question that someone out there might know the answer to: If I was trying to use the Lister CS6 at maximum efficiency what would be the ideal load in...
Ivan & list, I would suspect that the high compression setting should only be used up to about 1/3 of load, so about 1kW. Whether it is actually more fuel...
A word to the wise, be very careful with the "trundling" Ken, cranks dont like shock loadings like that. Cracks often do not appear until they let go, its a...
Guys, I am heading north tomorrow to deliver an engine to Leeds, and collect a rather jaded SOM from near Hull. I hope to get hold of the head for the 3/1 - as...
ScotAds has an ad for a Lister 7.5hp in Peterhead. No more details than that and no answer on the phone number unfortunately. I've also had a tip from a...
Dennis, Your description is wonderful. Offer him forty quid to take them both off his hands. I may have to take a more Northerly route home ;-} Did you have...
... Got it started very, very briefly and then had to shut it down sharpish as one of the mounting bolts holding it onto the slab sheared off. It had cracked...
It certainly does in Scotland. I wonder what percentage of UK rainfall does so north of the boarder? I think Dennis will have to go with the new foundation...
... Get someone in with a largeish core drill and drill down around the bolt. You can then break out the resulting collumn, romoving the bolt and making a nice...
... It's been there since 1954 or 1955, as has the SOM. So not surprising that one of the bolts has finally gone. Dennis ... Dennis Johnstone Stonehead Croft ...
Hi Dennis Your bolt sheared off in the slab may not be as bad as it looks. I would try cutting the bolt off flush with the slab surface, ( a nice 90 deg clean...
