    6 months or more of outside storage from DRMO to a G/L sale is standard. However, its odd how they just rip off the exhaust flapper on about 70 units. Makes one wonder. It's a shame they leave all the machine tools outside to rust down, that's unbelievable. Nobody in the military seems to...

    Agree. And pulling the head is not too bad. Lister Petter sells a top end reseal or "decarbon" kit as they call it for about $75. It includes everything needed including the waterpump seals and gaskets.

    That's a Lister Petter LPW part that comes on all of their engines. Any of the Lister Petter dealers that are on line can get it for you. The Lister Petter engine is LPW2. The lister and onan are 100% parts interchangable.

    Overall, I think the prices were about right. the high dollar ones looked very good and accounted for maybe 10% of the units. The best ones in other auctons have fetched $1,750 - $2,500. I bought one for $1,750 years ago and it was pretty good. Got it all fixed up running perfect, load tested...

    The engine is very good but must be set up right. Head gaskets are a typical problem but the replacements are revised design with no issues. The separate unit injection pumps are a pain to set up but they can be made close by equalizing exhaust temps between cylinders. The fuel tanks...

    Yeah, read on. When I see many that had all the screws gone on the top cover over the engine and some had engine mount bolts removed, these are not ready for service. Someone started dignosing or fixing and got the order to send them to auction. At that point they don't bother to screw the...

    I can say out of the 88 or so that were offered only a few were really good. many were taken apart and then abandoned when they found too much wrong. That being said the Lister Petter / Onan engine is a $250.00 core and easily rebuildable for another application. These units are very...
