USA dealers for Listeroids

[rbodell]

I have been hearing talk that the EPA has finally stopped Listerroids from coming into the USA assembled. Is that true?

As far as I know, yes.  IT seems that the importers in the U.S. have been scared off importing by the EPA threat of seizing container shipments at the port of entry.  While I have not heard of an actual Listeroid shipment being seized, I have heard of other non-compliant engines beingturned back.

only a slight inconvenience. You can still buy the parts and build an engine. I know there was a couple of guys that sold an assortment of spare parts. If you made a purchase from each of them, you had a complete engine. You just had to assemble it but you would normally have to disassemble a complete engine anyhow to check it out. I'd rather start with just the parts and built it from scratch anyhow.

the difficult parts are flywheels, crank, and block.  I don't see too many of those listed in the vendors spare parts bins.

[rbodell]

well if they can get everything else they can get those too, those are things you seldom need for repairs. I been thinking about setting up another engine.

When you buy a new cylinder, does if come with an ID plate on it, or are you supposed to transfer the old one to the new cylinder ? (not the liner, cylinder complete).
