What Engine is this?

[Steve WithnellParticipant @stevewithnell34426]

Bit of a "barn find" except it was outside under a tarp.

What is it? Suspect it is a Lister or Petter diesel, but no expert. Is it scrap?

Regards

Drop it in a drum of diesel and come back in three months' time. It will come apart nicely and probably go back together and run.

Looks like the injection pump and hp pipe mare missing, as a minimum!

Been there under that tarp for a LONG time by the looks of it.

There may be a makers label somewhere under all the rust and dust.

Characters cast into the crankcase MIGHT give some sort of clue. (casting number? )

I think that it is a Petter AVA1 as I had one many moons ago.

Probably worth asking on the UK engine forum,

As to whether it's scrap, the saying is that if it casts a shadow it can be restored. It all depends how much you enjoy the suffering.
