Just so happens we have a list member that acquired such.

Any comments to add Kevin C???

India is such a large country that many times people in India do not know
what is going on in another corner.

But India makes new old style Listers -- 650 RPM -- forever-diesels -- 6 HP.

These are heavy power plant single cylinder diesel engines that will run
forever!!

I am trying to get a price on these -- but no luck to date.

If you want to see what I am talking about:

(For brand new "antiques")

And if you want all the specs of the original --

http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/51P1data.htm

And keep clicking. A real trip at that site!!

If you think this kind of researching is a five minute deally - think again.

Why do I have this at hand?

Well, you are looking at the perfect block for a single cylinder uniflow
engine of extremely high efficiencies running on a refrigerant working
fluid. I simply have to  install a custom cylinder head to any of these old
diesels -- and bing -- life-time steam engine! Yes folks -- it is that simple!

Now -- want me to really blow your minds??

How would you like to know the place in the US selling these??

As in:

India made Lister type Cold Start (CS), Very Heavy, Lifetime Diesel
engines. Hand Start. No Radiator ( engines okay for thermosiphon cooling)
Slow speed Diesels 6HP (650 RPM) 8HP (850 RPM) 10 HP (1000 RPM) Qty 92

I have yet to contact this man -- but figure around $650 US per unit.

There now -- the small gasifier power plant people here on this list should
be content to digest all of this!

Merry Christmas -- I've just shown you how to do this for 1/10 of the
normal cost -- and if you do not believe me -- ask Tom T!
