Hi
After a strip down to check things ( an absolute necessity on these Indian clones ) , I am reassembling my Indian made Lister copy stationary engine .
They use paper gaskets each side of the block to adjust the pre load on the crankshaft tapered roller bearings . BTW the original UK built engines used bushes not TRB's .
Anyway Id like to know if there is any alternative to going to repco and buying proper gasket paper . In this situation, weeties packets will not be good enough :oo: The Indian gaskets that were on it are pretty crappy .
BTW the bored holes in the block, for the bearing castings, are .010" too large :(( ( a Indian stuffup ) , I'm going to use some .005" shim stock wrapped around the casting machined shoulder as a fix . Any up/down movement of the bearing castings is a big no no , each time the heavy piston moves up/down it will drag the castings and crankshaft up/down :no:
