Introduction

This Workshop Manual has been written to provide the trained technician with enough information to service
and overhaul all of the latest Perkins 100 Series engines. It has been compiled for use in conjunction with
normal workshop practice and information contained in current service bulletins. Certain accepted practices
have been purposely omitted in order to avoid repetition. For overhaul procedures the assumption is made that
the engine is removed from the application.
How to use this manual
This manual is illustration based and is divided into 16 chapters. The illustrations in each chapter follow the
sequence for the complete dismantle of a particular assembly or component. Assembly is achieved by the use
of the illustrations in reverse order from the rear of the chapter. In assembly and inspection, all parts are to be
thoroughly cleaned, lubricated, and where present, burrs and scale to be removed. Any open ports of high
precision components, e.g. fuel injection equipment that are exposed when dismantled, must be blanked off
until assembly, to prevent the ingress of foreign matter.
Where the information applies to certain types of engine only, this is indicated in the illustrations. When set
screws are fitted in "through" holes into the cylinder block, a suitable sealant should be used. In this manual,
when the "left" or "right" of the engine is referred to, it is that side of the engine when viewed from the flywheel
end.
Special tools have been made available and a list of these is given in Chapter 16. At the start of each operation
reference to the relevant special tools is made.
POWERPART consumable products are listed on page 5. At the start of each operation reference to the
necessary consumable products is made.
Data and dimensions are provided as part of each operation and also in Chapter 2.
Always use the full engine number to order new parts.
Read and remember the "Safety precautions" on page 2. They are given for your protection and must
be used at all times.
Danger is indicated in the text by two methods:
Warning! This indicates that there is a possible danger to the person.
Caution: This indicates that there is a possible danger to the engine.
Note: Is used where the information is important, but there is not a danger.
