The HRW range was introduced in 1969, but I do not know how long they continued in production. I am sure that Tony Redlshaw at Braunston would know. He specialises in Vintage Engines and can supply many "difficult to find" parts.

I've always been under the impression you add 1950 to the last two digits

 

this page seems to confirm that:

 

http://www.stationaryengine.org/lister_dating5.html

 

 

but then it'd be a 1968 engine :lol: which goes against what David just posted

 

 

 

Ah...

 

Its an HW, not an HRW

The HRW2 range was produced by Lister from 1969 to 1987

 

The add 50 to the last two numbers is normally correct BUT it is not the same for all Listers due to prototyping end of run etc

 

When I get 5 mins I will post a definitive list of Lister and Petter production years

but...

 

The engine in the OP is in fact a Lister HW2 which built in 1968.

 

And not an HRW2. At least according to the serial number...

 

and the list of dates in the other thread seems to confirm that 1968 was a year during which HW2's were built but NOT HRW2's

 

where's my cracked record pattern anorak gone?

HW 1963-1970 as per the list

 

Off to get the anorak cleaned

the numbers off the fuel injection pumps ( Bryce) would be easiest and best , other wise the numbers cast into the cylinder head will also identity

(Pedant anorak on)

 

You mean how do you tell the difference between an HW and an HRW. The HR is an air cooled engine.

 

(Pedant anorak off)

 

Baldock will probably be able to advise of the how to tell the difference between an HW and an HRW in the event that the serial number is missing.

Your original number 191HW2M18 donates that your engine was the 191st HW2 built to a M (marine specification).The build type 18 would give the engine assembly track fitters the list of parts required to build the engine as a marine specification. There should be some preceding numbers to the ones posted which will give you the exact year of build.

the only other numbers on the plate are HP 19 R.P.M 1500 as i said before the plate was in a box,I think it was fitted to the water tank as there 2 small fixing that will line up with the holes in the plate.Sorry i'm not much help but everyone has start somewhere.

19HP@1500rpm I'd say its definitely an HW2 rather than an HRW2.

and

 

http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/mcga07-home/m...ARINE%20DIESELS

 

both suggest that the HW is a slower revving engine than the HRW although the HW is apparently measured at 1800rpm not 1500rpm.

Paddy,

As I put earlier..the only and correct way to determine HW and HRW differences easily are by the numbering on the fuel injection pumps, HW and HRW use different sized elements , the head casting numbers are another relativly easy method.

 

Externally unless you really know what you are looking at you will not be able to tell, even I rely on pump numbers and so does Peter Thompson who has been working on Listers for more years than he will admit !!!

 

You can always give Peter or I a ring during the day about it if you want to
