There was also Lister's considerable contribution to rural dairy farm economy where the home might have laid-on power but the cow-shed not so. The pum-pum-pum-pum of the reliable Lister engine operating the vacuum pump was a ubiquitous sound between 3:30 and 5:00 up and down New Zealand into the 1960s.

These engines while workhorses were pleasing to hear run since they ran so smooth.

When the Pinto car was introduced in 1970, It had two engine options available. One was the German 4 cyl. 2.0 litre and the Lister 1.5 litre 4 cyl. The German engine was a real runner. The English engine, not so much. I chose the German one. I would shift it when it wouldn't go any faster in a certain gear. Ran the hell out of that engine.

@@stephransley4371 i think you are wrong about shims under the barrel petters had that. Lister had shims that were fitted along with the head gasket , 1966 when i started working on lister and petters .
