[SEL] Lister-Blackstone

[Steve Gray]

Hey Ron -

  The CD is a sweet running engine. I just finished  going through an 8 
HP, I think like yours, for a friend of mine. The oil had never been 
changed and was like THICK pudding, resulting is a starved and partially 
pounded out rod bearing. The owner will probably paint it, I just did 
the mechanical. What a beast! The injector nozzle was shot also (water 
had wiped out the needle and seat), but the owner was able to buy a new 
one from an outfit up here in the bay area, so keep it in mind if you 
need to go that route. Cost him about $60 (came from Austria!).

- Steve
