Hi, very reliable engine. All parts available from UK or India. On flywheel there should be fan. TDC and that second mark is for fuel pump timing through that square window in aluminium cover. First should take of head and cylinder. Lister original colour is green, that's why it is on flywheel and looks like on head and other parts of engine. Get manual which are available, measure and see what should be changed, by look at that big end bearing looks like neglected by not changing oil and of course water and rust, it is very good sign that you could turn over engine. Wire wheel does miracle.
Thanks for the comments. Fan is on back side of flywheel, taking head off is easy, everything looked good in there. Was stumped for a while trying to remove governor shaft. Figured out that the pins in the supports are free and only held in place by the cover. Pulled the pins and governor came off, so I could get to the cam. Just waiting for parts now. Have manual and parts catalog from web, helped a lot. I actually found sources for what I need in the U.S.A., where I am. Yes, the bearing I pulled, which I refer to as the rod bearing is being changed. Should have the parts in a few days, then I'll reassemble.
Let us know in what way, list out some tips to help if possible, share some of that experience and knowledge from many years working on them and that will help us all out a lot, thanks

Omg you're doing everything the hard way... Over 30 years my hands have been in Listers... You're screwing up
