I dunno why but the lack of covering for the valves / valve train / air filtering etc still amazes me the people were dumb enough to do it - even when the principles of grinding paste - a mixture of dust and grits in oil or water - had been understood for thousands of years,
-
Nice setup I really love the sound of a Lister running, wish they were more common here in the states.

@MusicMan20061210 unfortunately, heavy mass = inefficiency. :( don't get me wrong though; i, too, like heavy machinery. it seems as if it would last more than a life time (if being taken care of correctly), unlike todays' chinese junk. :\

@leonscorpio19 I know where there are a few that might be for sale, but would need to be rebuilt/restored. They would have to be shipped from ND so nothing about the whole experience would be cheap. But they are real Listers.

@MusicMan20061210 apparently they are now made in India under licenced. a freind of mine imports them here in Australia.

Fantastic engine, fantstic video, fantastic sound.... thumbs up.

Could it be that they are a too good product to be made available to the public?
These engines (the Brittish made) can last a person's lifetime.
Instead,complicated junk lightweight designs are offered with no heavy flywheels.
The heavy mass is what makes this what it is.

I can understand your point, but these engines are well known for their longevity. Keep in mind, a lot of these are used in dairies etc where the dust is much less. It's hard to argue with the results - these go for decades and are highly regarded and sought after.
