Are you talking about the physical size of the filter or the size of particulate matter the filter can filter out?
-
Our local motor factors sell API CC in multigrades, seems OK so far in our Lister HA2
-
For peace of mind I would fit one.
-
A coupling with a grub screw hole, usually drilled over any keyway the coupling may have. It is provided to stop axial movement along the shaft. https://www.midlandchandlers.co.uk/products/r-d-4-split-half-coupling-1-1-2-shaft-rd202153f

Grub screw hole?

I used 'modern car oil' in my 40 year old Suzuki, almost wrecked the clutch. IIRC old engines require the old spec of API-CC?
-
Modern oils with friction modifiers are no good for wet clutches in some types of gearbox.
-
What sort of coupling do you have between the gearbox and propshaft?
-
Do you have any details, number. O/D-I/D- width etc.

Bought one of those a few years back, well worth the money. Not sure how accurate the boat rev counter will be but the most accurate results would be from checking the prop shaft and the camshaft pulley.
-
IIRC the LH150 box is hydraulically actuated, will it turn the prop shaft at hand turning speed?
-
What is the model number on the alternator data plate?
-
Just wondered if the the boat had been aground on the opposite side (due to a falling canal level) and shipped some water into the engine bay then said water was then pumped out by the bilge pump when the boat levelled on re-floating.
-
Lifes trials and tribulations got in the way a bit!
-
Sods law dictates the nut will probably pop out at some time with resulting added damage.
-
Might I enquire if there is a hot air outlet on the side of the engine bay, if so, what is its position relative to canal water level
-
The part number on the piston indicate it's for a LD, I assume the /5 at the end indicates oversize dimension? The image of the caliper reading appears to indicate the piston is 0.025" oversize.

Our HA2 was an industrial job modified for marine use and totally overhauled round 1998, only used it because it was FoC. Won't disagree on the noise issue. (17 seconds in)

Heretic!

The bits you need.

Tidal Thames - through the Barrier
OptedOut replied to Scholar Gypsy's topic in Cruise Diaries & Reports
A very nice gentleman indeed. Saved me from staying up all night checking the pontoon as the swell was lifting the boat and pontoon at varying frequencies. -
Tidal Thames - through the Barrier
OptedOut replied to Scholar Gypsy's topic in Cruise Diaries & Reports
We once arrived at Limehouse at low water just as the tide was turning, ran past the lock and crossed downstream then moored on the floating pontoon. Lock keeper was just going off duty but was unhappy to leave us outside overnight. spent the next 3/4 hour inching over the sill as the tide rose. -
Limehouse to Teddington - well deck drains?
OptedOut replied to SabrinaWorcs's topic in General Boating
Also watch out for the channel markers which start about 1/4 mile upstream, they seem to have a 'magnetic' quality in certain tidal conditions! -

Also shut any engine room side doors if it's really rough.
