Thats the cooling water, pumped through by the reciprical pump on the other side of the engine. The tap (shown in the video) allows manual control over the amount that goes through the engine, thus allow you to keep it at the correct temperature for running (if you know what you are doing!).
mykaskin- yeah- love your vids went and checked out your new prop on vimeo...thats amazing it has no trouble turning that 28 inch prop! Tell me- i have a lead on a petter/mclaren with a parsow trans. i believe 20 hp marine built around the 1930's- runs...would that have similar torque?..
I'd need to know more about the engine, best measure is swept volume and max RPM and reduction box ratio. The JP2 is just under 3 litres, and 1200 RPM. The gearbox is a 2:1 giving a shaft RPM of 600. The list is 22 BHP, but is obviously equivelent to a much more powerful modern engine.
"Make sure your thumbs aren't crossed over the bar (in case of back fire)" - tell me, under what circumstances would a diesel engine back fire? A backfire is the premature ignition of a fuel-air charge. The fuel-air charge only exists after injection and afer fuel-air mixing, so there can be no backfire in a diesel engine
These are the compression change over valves. They put a chamber into communication with the cyclinders which lowers the compression.
The high compression mode (taps screwed in) is designed just for starting, but is also recommended for low load running. If you are running the engine hard then you can (and best to now and again) open them up. Ensure the threads are oiled, and that the valves are completely opened and later completely shut otherwise you will get blow through. Cheers, Myk

Nice Lister Marine engine. They put compression valves on the Lister CS types.

Love the sound of that Engine, Sounds like our old Sabb that we used to have in our Colvic.

Maybe not the sort you get in petrol engine, but trust me if it doesn't get over TDC it can push backwards!
