    The only sure way is to saw it through and count the rings
  3. Ours are fully rebuilt and set up, you'd get two for £150 Richard
  4. HOW MUCH!!!??!!
  5. We much prefer to fit the old style metal cased leather seals (AKA Weston seals) over modern lip seals. They're a bit more tolerant about dirt, damaged shafts and so on We've probably got them in stock Richard
  6. You need to put the top ring into a clean ring groove, then put a feeler gauge between the side of the ring and the piston. As the piston moves up and down, the ring wears the side of the groove. Richard
  7. It's the number of the piston, not the piston and ring assembly It doesn't have an oversize mark on it so it is probably standard The correct way to find out is to measure the bore! Do check that the ring groove on the top ring of the piston is OK. Richard
  8. We have them in stock, give Sue a rig and she'll sort you out 01926 356200 - Marine Engine Services Richard
  9. Talk to Jason Gallop at Bollington Wharf: 01625 575811 He's pretty good with Listers Richard
  10. On of my treasured memories of that Challenge! Richard
  11. Your best bet is see how warm the pipe from the exhaust manifold gets - it is the one that sticks up on the left hand side of your picture. That one is getting direct heat from the exhaust I think I can see a thermostat housing on the far end of the engine, otherwise it would be useful to have some more pictures. There are a variety of ways the cooling system on these engines can be set up Richard
  12. It actually lost one in that last advert, and is now back to the correct number Richard
  13. It has moved from Pillings lock then. Unless something has changed since I last saw her, "She has got a newly refurbished lister 3 cylinder engine which is in pristine condition" isn't exactly correct Richard

  15. On the 'Where are we on the BCN??', I wouldn't worry too much about it, it endlessly confuses everyone. The Gower branch starts at Albion Junction near Dunkirk stop and includes the Brades locks - that's a lot of names for not many places. The Atherstone flight is bloody miles long and is just the Atherstone flight Try sorting out the 'Old Turn' 'Gas Street' 'Sandy Turn' conundrum! The first BCN Challenge we competed on had all of these junctions scored separately before Roy and John sensibly simplified things Richard
  16. Based on many excursions to retrieve spanners from similar bilges, it will be mostly water with some oil floating on the top.

  18. No, you won't need to. The gaskets are already coated Richard
  19. It is also planned based on the worst conditions the engine is going to experience. For engines that are in boats, the intervals will be based on what the industrial engine would have done And boat engines don't run flat out for 300 hours as generators, or thrash about on building sites, or swallow lots of dust and debris on farms Boat engines have a pretty cushy life Richard
  20. no, but they might want to charge their batteries
  21. Our distressed 2.2 has no flywheel, so that's no help...
  22. You have just as much success if you took in your boat registration number
  23. You often find them on industrials, rarely on marine ones Are you really having trouble finding the filters? Richard
  24. I used to work with someone who as a young apprentice would service Rovers, probably in the early 1950's A full service included repairing minor paint damage Richard
  25. If you have no filter, just put the old one back I wouldn't mess around in case you get dirty from one side of the filter to the other Richard
