Engine preservation

Ex-works preservation treatment

The preservation treatment will give up to 12 months shipping and storage protection under normal enclosed
storage conditions of -15 °C to +55 °C and up to 90% relative humidity.
1 The oil used on engine test will give protection for up to 12 months after despatch from the works.
2 After test the oil is then drained from the sump.
3 The corrosion inhibited anti-freeze at 50% dilution with clean water used on engine test will give protection
for up to 12 months after despatch from the works.
4 After spray painting, all openings in the engine (including points where pipework has been removed and air
cleaner inlets, etc.), are sealed with plastic plugs or covers.
5 The drive face of the flywheel is coated with Valvoline Tectyl 506 preservative.

Service Bulletins

Service procedures and engine design are checked continuously at Perkins Engines. As a result of this
development work, it may become necessary to alter the information in manuals and other service
publications.
Between revisions of the literature, all relevant personnel are provided with full details of changes as they
occur. The information is produced as a Service Bulletin; these are supplied to distributors for distribution as
necessary.
