Lister Green

I'm doing mine in 'deep brunswick green' from Paragon (stationary engine parts). Originally it was painted silver. Mine's a marine auxiliary engine.

Oh and the red flywheel, that's an offence, right? 

Definitely.

 

As a potentially hazardous moving part it should be clearly highlighted in black and yellow chevrons...

Flywheel on mine is red, not my doing but quite happy with it.

Thanks Richard, its an old BSA cycle oil can. The fuel lines were purchased from you, bit of a white knuckle job bending them, the old ones looked like a fistfull of eels.

Oooohhh...thats got the duplex fuel filter on the front crankcase door....never seen that before!...not that im sad or anything....and is that a big pulley behind the flywheel?

Yes it is. Someone has fitted it as it isn't original. If I get round to fitting electric start it will have to go as it's in the way.  Nicely done though.

Brass Rockers and a red flywheel.......thats very poor!!!

 

[David Mack]

But at least its a proper marine unit, with raised hand start, and not an ex-generator engine facing the wrong way.

It'll look a little more like an ex-genset with the new heads - could only find ones from a stationary so I have a plate to cover the hole to the water pump.

I quite like the brass rocker covers, but I might not go with TheBiscuit's yellow and black chevrons on the flywheel.  I think it'd upset the dog.

What is different about the heads? I thought they were identical.

One of the heads on an industrial has a machined face with four studs and a water outlet. This is the one at the fuel pump end of the engine

 

I have yet to work out all the core plug variations on JP heads
