![]() ![]() The block was integral with the crankcase on all models, and wet liners were used. This left Listers with engines below 100HP, while R&H handled sizes above that. ![]() The JP came from the Joint Product agreement between Lister and Ruston & Hornsby, whereby they apparently agreed to keep to their own engine size ranges and not compete against each other. The first diesel was the 9/1 (nine horsepower, one cylinder) 1000 rpm engine, which also became known as the JP. For the complete beginner, references to CS, CD,CE, JP, 61/6, etc etc are all a bit confusing at first, but if taken in historical order there is some logic behind the designations. I have not had that problem myself, as I tended to get right in amongst them from day one, and also spent a lot of time going through handbooks and manuals that I picked up at autojumbles etc. Identifying Lister Diesels An article from the Stationary Engine Newsgroup July 1998 This one is for Dene Oehme in Australia, who asked if I could put together a bit on identifying Lister diesel engines for his new web pages (which are a very good effort) There have been quite a few newcomers to the NG who have asked me if I could explain how to differentiate between various models of the Lister Diesel engines.
