Changfa style is a good type of simple engine - but the only disadvantage may be the flywheel which does not allow direct coupling of hydraulic pumps using a simple pump mount. Must have more of a sled or other fixture to which a pump can be mounted
Here is a mounting with a Lovejoy coupler - [1] - also - fluid is closed off to include a radiator.
22 hp
- Water cooled, evaporative. 22 hp.

30 hp
- $300 without shipping - [2]
27 hp, 20 kW
- Great candidate for opensourcing - [3]
Reviews
- Good thread - [4]
- Summary of thread: Why all the rave about Changfa? because the changfa is just one tough little sonofabeach thats why!
- the idi versions will burn just about anything flammable
- Parts for brand name engines will not be cheap, especially with obsolescence. Parts for Changfa may not be easy, either.
- Per hp, about 1/4 the price of a Listeroid
- Compact form over Listeroid
- Low cost parts.
- Ideal diesel doesn't exist, or is $4-5k
- generation or two more advanced than the lister having a gear/rotor oil pump, crossdrilled crankshaft, and the ability to have not only bypass but full flow lube filtration is a significant design improvement that ought to be recognized
- Noise is a big issue for Changfa - these are not quiet.
- Of 4 sources of diesel noise - exhaust, intake, geartrain and diesel knock - exhaust and intake are easily taken care of
- Exhaust and intake noise is about 50% of noise
- Clones of clones may be problematic if parts aren't the same - [5]

OSE Review
More compact and balanced than Lister engines - contenders for low RPM, long life diesels engines. S195 is apparently 12 hp, but they go until to 27 hp. The first thread above I didn't ates they are under-rated, and governor is stable. Loud as hell, but exhaust can be muffled well to reduce noise 50%.
These would be a great candidate for local production. Requires cast body, and crank shaft may be 3D printed using Metal 3D Printing, followed by grinding. Precision parts for fuel pump may be ground.
This would be a great business.
