Lister Peter engine

[Popeye]

Hi everyone… next on my list is the service on the engine. Can anyone identify what exact model engine I have here. I only know it’s a lister P, 3 cylinder diesel. Here’s a serial number I noted down.

BHP 2600
I’d be interested if anyone knows which engine oil to use and how much to put in if possible. I was also looking for a dip stick and found something resembling one however it doesn’t seem to pull out

Its a P600/3 I think.
ordinary 15/40 mineral oil will be fine in my opinion. And I’d say that it is the dipstick that you’ve found, but it’s just stuck in there! I think it’s a very similar (maybe same?) block to a TS/TR engine, the dipstick looks very similar from the pic. If so the top is plastic, with an O ring seal. Try getting some grips on it and give it a twist, see if you can get it moving. Possibly a bit of WD40 or Duck Oil round it will help.

Thanks very much that should get me going

I’ll go for TS3!

I’ll go for TS3!

Was my first thought too, looks like a TS block, but the heads and rocker covers aren’t TS or TR.

 

[Mick-the-fitter]

It’s the earlier ST I think!

 

[Mick-the-fitter]

SL3

I will stick with P600/3

It's a s**t petter design that someone has disgraced the name Lister by adding there name to.

I’m thinking of de greasing and jet washing the engine etc . Should I do this running or not ? Any pit falls to doing this

? Any pit falls to doing this

You will see all the oil leaks

This is potentially what your dipstick could be like, @Popeye

They’re not oil leaks! That’s preservatives, in 10 to 15 years time you won’t be able to buy it
